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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're after an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary according to demand, so it’s wise to secure your booking well ahead of your trip. By reserving in advance, you're more likely to benefit from lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are less expensive to hire and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate 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 provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car with an empty tank in this instance.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Collecting your rental car from airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extended road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra fees.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
