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

  1. 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 enjoyment, or an economical car for budget reasons, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to benefit from lower prices and greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. 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.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under 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 advantageous option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payments.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and offers peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Where can I find a Harwich hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Harwich hire providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know about this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Harwich with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the details before booking!
