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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require 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 best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary according to demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a suitable compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may incur higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Other policies may allow for full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable too. Just ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most 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 in case of any unforeseen incidents during your trip. It’s easy to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long-distance journeys, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is required to hire a car.

Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
