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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, 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 depending on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are generally less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may face higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This may also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most economical option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the added convenience can make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
