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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly options, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the best fit for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it is advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size 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 vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid incurring extra charges. This is generally the most economical option. Other agreements may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling 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, although the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
