10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Glenelg South

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary depending on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to benefit from lower rates and improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to hire and easier to navigate in busy urban areas. Mid-sized 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 types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This also applies to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on 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 provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, although the added convenience may justify the cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can shield you from unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you have plans for extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
