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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to access lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—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 booking.
  • 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 advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth the extra cost for the added convenience.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire providers exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It’s easy to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
