10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Sea Point

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car to save on costs, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact vehicles are generally more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—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 reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure that you return the car empty in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is frequently a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but this may be worthwhile for the convenience it provides.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. It is easy to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you intend to embark on long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
