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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer sun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect match for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain 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 your reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well—just remember to return the car empty in that case.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, look 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 essential for renting a car.
