10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Robin Hood's Bay

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the most suitable option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary significantly depending on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain more favourable rates and greater availability, especially 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 cars offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and some vehicle categories—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 making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel choices, which are acceptable as well; just ensure that you return the car with an empty tank in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Generally, you’ll incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies will only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in the event of unforeseen circumstances during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is mandatory for renting a car.
