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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best options for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between cost, 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 criteria before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Other rentals may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel arrangements, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that 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 this may be justified by 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 unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's simple to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning to embark on long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is required to rent a car.

You'll need to check the age policy of the Dumfries hire providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's better to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Dumfries with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
