10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Phillip Island

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary greatly based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are generally more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may incur higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—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 restrictions before making a booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid incurring additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel choices, which are acceptable as well; just be sure to return the car empty in those instances.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often encounter a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards as payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should any unforeseen events occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on embarking on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
