10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Hugh Town

  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 those summer days, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often allows you to lock in lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are generally more affordable to hire and easier to manoeuvre in busy locations. Mid-size rentals offer a reasonable compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. 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 the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a 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 typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: It's common to incur a surcharge when collecting your rental car from airports, but the convenience may justify the extra 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 unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance while booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on embarking on long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to hire a car.
