10 tips to save on your car hire around Holiday World and Splashin' Safari

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it is advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in busy areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 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 of age. Always verify the age criteria before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and offers peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
