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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget considerations, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly depending on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain more favourable rates and enjoy improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded 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 types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements mandate a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid incurring additional charges. This option is generally the most economical. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge; 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 unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when you book with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out rental options that offer unlimited mileage to evade extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
