10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Bray

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer, or an economical car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to locate the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and are easier to manoeuvre and park in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can protect you from unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when reserving with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals with unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to hire a car.
