10 tips to save on your car hire around Carrickfergus Marina

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, 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 vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your car 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 typically cost less to rent and are easier to manoeuvre and park in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This may also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate 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 fuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, though the added convenience might justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It is straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on embarking on long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to hire a car.
