10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Mount Lavinia

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and desired features. Whether you're seeking an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well in advance 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 vehicles are typically more affordable to rent 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 the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements mandate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical option. Other policies may allow for full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car with an empty tank in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Collecting your rental car from an airport often incurs a surcharge, but the added 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. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
