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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-sized rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This is also applicable to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is often the most beneficial option. Other policies may offer a full-to-empty or prepaid fuel arrangement, which can also work well; just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • 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 incidents during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
