10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Simon's Town

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the type of vehicle and specific features you require. Whether you're after an SUV for extra space, a convertible for the summer, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal 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 booking well ahead of your trip. By reserving in advance, you're likely to enjoy lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy urban areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters aged over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid incurring extra charges. This is generally the most favourable 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 case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  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 unforeseen costs and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.
