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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV to accommodate extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to identify the perfect option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, making it advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 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 before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require 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 most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • 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 unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It’s simple to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
