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

  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 warm summer days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle 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 car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of 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 aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals mandate 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 economical. Other rentals may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable; just make sure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  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 costs and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your journey. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Can I drive in Cuba with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure 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, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
