9 tips to save on your Airport car hire near Aracaju

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economy car for extra luggage, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance for some of the best rates: To secure lower rates and a wider selection, it's generally advisable to book your AJU car hire as early as possible. Aim to finalise your booking 1-3 months ahead, especially before peak travel seasons.
  3. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and availability may be limited for certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models. This can also impact renters who are over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to confirming your booking.
  4. Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Smaller vehicles, like economy or compact cars, are usually more affordable to hire and easier to park in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling choices, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in this instance.
  6. Know your payment options: Most rental agencies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits, and debit cards may not always be accepted.
  7. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and provides added peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car hire insurance while booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  8. Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend considerable time on the road, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs on longer journeys.
  9. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to hire a car.
