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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer outings, 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 prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater 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 busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just remember to return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can safeguard you from unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car.
