10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Downtown Atlanta

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary due to demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower prices and have access to a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This may also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Other agreements may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
Save on city and airport pickups: Often, there is a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should any unforeseen circumstances arise during your journey. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
