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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to keep costs down, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your travel date. By booking early, you are likely to benefit from lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in congested areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a satisfactory balance 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 the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car hire providers only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help prevent unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to hire a car.

Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire.

  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hired car. Please read the details before booking!
