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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Typically, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced option in terms of 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 rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are also viable. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, yet it may be worth it for the added convenience.
  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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to circumvent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to hire a car.
