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 specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to park in busy locations. Mid-size vehicles offer a balanced choice 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 be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most economical option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can also be suitable. Just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental vehicle at airports, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides added peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on embarking on lengthy road trips, seek out rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.

  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
