10 tips to save on your car hire around Papagayo Beach

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  • 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 early, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be convenient. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it offers.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
