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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters available on Expedia to discover the best options for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, making it advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and simpler to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available to them. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well, but ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
