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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you’re in need of an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand; therefore, it's advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to obtain more favourable rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and simpler to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between 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—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 operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Other agreements may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
  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 provide peace of mind should the unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re 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 car.
