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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer sunshine, or an economical car for affordability, utilise filters on Expedia to assist you in finding the ideal match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in busy locations. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the best option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it may be worthwhile for the extra convenience it provides.
  • 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 something unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning 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 essential for renting a car.
