10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Otranto Historic Centre

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for the summer, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary depending on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to benefit from lower rates and increased availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles tend to be more affordable to rent and easier to park in busy 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 available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. It’s essential to check the age requirements before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it might be worthwhile 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 unforeseen occur during your trip. It's easy to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to hire a car.
