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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're after an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect 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 vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're likely to obtain better rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-sized rentals offer a sensible compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • 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—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure that you return the vehicle empty in this case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, although the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • 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 should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that include unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
