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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific 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 assist in discovering the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, especially 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 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals adhere to a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports; however, the added convenience may justify the cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should the unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extensive road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to rent a car.
