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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer driving, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to help you identify the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years 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 over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • 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 generally the most favourable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides added 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 extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
