10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Builth Wells

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars tend to be more affordable to rent and are easier to manoeuvre in busy urban areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a balanced choice between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may experience higher deposits or daily charges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might 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 under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applied for collecting your rental car from airports; however, the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
