10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Port Elizabeth

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower rates and benefit from greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  • 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 typically the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which can be acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's easy 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 steer clear of extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a car.
