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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary according to demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded 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 types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. 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 car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is usually the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just be sure to return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire providers exclusively accept 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. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
