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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it is advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often allows you to lock in lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to drivers aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is generally the most favourable. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and offers peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It is straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent any additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
