10 tips to save on your car hire in and around The Spit

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By reserving early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to hire and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a favourable compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • 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 be unavailable. This may also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies accept only credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected issues during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
