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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by considering vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're likely to achieve lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in congested 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 vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This may also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate 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 favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are acceptable too—just ensure the car is returned empty in such cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it might be worthwhile for the added convenience it offers.
  • 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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected arise during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on undertaking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
