10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Alexandria

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, making it wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This could also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most cost-effective. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just make sure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provide you with peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning to take long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alexandria?
Alexandria rules state drivers must be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Alexandria?
Before you can hit the road in Alexandria, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Alexandria?
In Alexandria, like all of Scotland, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Take things slow to build up confidence driving on the opposite side if it's your first time.
What is the cheapest car rental in Alexandria?
The cheapest car rental in Alexandria within the past seven days was just $52 per day. The next best deal snapped up by thrifty travelers was $53. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alexandria?
Expedia makes it a cinch to score a reliable long-term rental in Alexandria. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find an Alexandria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Alexandria companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Alexandria?
Get your road trip off to a good start by purchasing Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency support. Don't wait until you reach the rental desk to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Alexandria ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Alexandria with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Scotland, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
