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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it is advisable to reserve your vehicle well in advance of your trip. Booking early often secures lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. 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 on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most advantageous. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure to return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: It is common to incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  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 provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long 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 license is necessary to rent a vehicle.

We get that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why many prepaid rentals offer a total refund if you notify us at least six hours in advance of collecting the car. It's a good idea to scan your policy though as there are some exceptions. If the info isn't there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.

  • You'll discover Bank of America Stadium and loads more interesting attractions in Charlotte. From Cary, it's approximately 120 miles away.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Cary?
You'll need to be 21 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental car in Cary. Take note that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to hire a car in Cary?

Where can I find a Cary hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Cary hire providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each car hire company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Cary with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
