10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Chatham-Kent

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it is advisable to secure your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection of vehicles, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to manoeuvre and park in busy areas. Mid-size cars offer a reasonable balance of affordability, 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—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid incurring extra charges. This is often the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the vehicle empty in these cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, yet it might be worth it for the added convenience it provides.
  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 something unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to circumvent additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is required to rent a vehicle.
