10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Rio

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. 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 additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel choices, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extended road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
