10 tips to save on your car hire around Portreath Beach

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-sized rentals offer a nice balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—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 rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports; however, the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you sidestep unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should any unforeseen events occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra fees.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
