10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Lake Zurich

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer, or a compact car for affordability, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles 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 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals impose a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, though the added convenience may justify the cost.
  • 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 unwarranted expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's simple to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to hire a car.
