10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Fair Isle

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those sunny days, or a compact car for budget-friendliness, 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 significantly with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often leads to lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—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 requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements may stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be convenient. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
