10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Saint Helena Island

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for ample space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly depending on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to benefit from lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller vehicles are more economical to rent and simpler to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals 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 vehicle categories—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 before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  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 unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Saint Helena Island with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
