10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Wangaratta Forward

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by considering vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV to accommodate extra space, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the ideal option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower rates and have a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • 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—may be unavailable. This can also apply to renters who are over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most advantageous. Other agreements may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car from airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers could 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 unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car hire insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
