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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance is likely to secure you lower prices and ensure better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles generally come with lower rental costs and are easier to manoeuvre and park in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers may be worth the additional cost.
  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 provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential to rent a car.

Can I drive in Hattiesburg with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle.
