9 tips to save on your International Airport car hire near Frankfurt

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer, or an economy car for extra luggage, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance for some of the best rates: It is generally advisable to secure your car hire at FRA as early as possible to benefit from lower rates and a wider selection. Booking 1-3 months in advance is optimal, particularly in anticipation of peak seasons.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may be subject to limited availability. This may also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to confirming your booking.
  • Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Smaller vehicles like economy or compact cars are typically more affordable to hire and simpler to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals provide a favourable compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental companies require a full-to-full fuel policy, indicating that you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this case.
  • Know your payment options: Most rental agencies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits. Debit cards might not always be accepted.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case anything unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  • Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend considerable time on the road, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges on longer journeys.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
