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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary depending on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years 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 70 years. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals enforce a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just remember to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the 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 assist you in avoiding unnecessary expenses and provides you with extra 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 avoid incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is essential for renting a car.
