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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it is advisable to reserve your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to secure lower rates and enjoy improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-sized rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This may also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. 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 additional charges. This is generally the best option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire providers exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and offers you peace of mind in case of any unforeseen events during your trip. It's easy to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, search for rentals that provide 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 car.
