10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Ring of Kerry

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal vehicle for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand; therefore, it is advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to secure more favourable rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to park in congested areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years 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 aged over 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 car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car with an empty tank in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often an additional charge 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 peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It's simple to add car hire insurance when making a booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extended road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
