10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Salt Rock

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of 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—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on 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 refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure the car is returned empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports; however, this might be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  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 sidestep unnecessary expenses and offers peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals with unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is essential for renting a car.
