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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're after an SUV for extra room, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle 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 early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and are easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 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 restrictions before making your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable, but ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards as a method of payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on embarking on 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.
