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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific 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 perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices tend to vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to lock in lower rates and benefit from greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to hire and easier to manoeuvre in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Other rentals may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are also acceptable—just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Often, you will incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but this may be justified by the added convenience it offers.
  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 in avoiding unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should any unforeseen events arise during your journey. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential to hire a car.
