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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're after an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates vary depending on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to secure better rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. 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.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that 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 at airports; however, the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  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 in case of unexpected events during your trip. It’s simple to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy 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 essential for renting a car.
