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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise filters on Expedia to help you identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car in advance of your trip. Booking early is likely to yield lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 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 before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you are required to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most beneficial option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. 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 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 unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.
