10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Great Ayton

  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 summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. 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're more likely to benefit from lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in busy locations. Mid-size rentals offer a suitable balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before finalising your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals enforce a full-to-full fuel policy, which means 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 are acceptable as well. Just ensure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it could be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards as a payment method.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's easy to add car hire insurance when making your booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals with unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to hire a car.
