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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economical car to save on costs, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match 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 vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental price and are easier to park 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 luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which is acceptable as well; just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience could make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only 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. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to sidestep additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
