10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Arba Minch

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer adventures, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best options for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary due to demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. Booking early often leads to lower rates and improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and can be easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This option is usually the most economical. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can also be convenient. Just remember 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 added 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 you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek out 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.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Ethiopia, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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.
