10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Granite City

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, leverage the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. 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 typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just be sure to return the car empty in these cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire providers exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide you with added peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when you book with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential to rent a car.
