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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for warm weather, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in locating the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, 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 usually more affordable to rent and simpler to park in congested 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 types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This may also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals mandate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, yet it may be worth it for the added convenience.
  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 added peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when making a booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on embarking on long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to evade extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
