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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the perfect vehicle 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 in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain more favourable rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre and park in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years of age may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This policy can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel choices, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There’s often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, though it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It's straightforward to include car hire insurance when making a booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to hire a car.
