10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Longboat Key

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary depending on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions prior to 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 generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable, but ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applied for collecting your rental car from airports, but this may be justified by the added convenience it provides.
  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 peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to hire a car.

It's a good idea to go through your rental policy though as there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.

Pick up an amazing deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your favourite ride, select your dates and pick-up and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the popular suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Longboat Key car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Longboat Key?
Anyone with a valid driver's license aged 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Longboat Key. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, you can expect additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before you book. Outlets also restrict the types of cars young drivers can hire. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Longboat Key?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Longboat Key?
The cheapest price for a hire car in Longboat Key within the past seven days was £38 per day. The second best deal snapped up by thrifty travellers was £39.

Where can I find a Longboat Key hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are found in Longboat Key. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Longboat Key with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the hire car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
