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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and 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 crowded areas. Mid-sized rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—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 rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be convenient. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Typically, you will incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the expense.
  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 provides additional peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on undertaking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.

There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Selma with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
