10 tips to save on your car hire in and around St. Germans

  1. 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 summer outings, or an economical 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 fluctuate according to demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available to them. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most beneficial 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 scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applied for collecting your rental car at airports, though this may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire providers accept only credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning lengthy road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is mandatory for renting a car.
