10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Eilean Shona

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded 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 types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on 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 advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are acceptable as well. Just remember to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind if something unexpected occurs during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
