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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, 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 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 access lower rates and enjoy improved availability, especially during busy seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to manoeuvre and park in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 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 aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements mandate a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports usually incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may 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 provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long 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 licence is necessary to rent a car.
