10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Woods Hole

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're after an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable 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 vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to those over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate 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 favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but this added convenience may be worth the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind should anything 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 embarking on lengthy road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Woods Hole with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
