10 tips to save on your Avenal car hire

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and specific features you need. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to make your reservation well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a broader selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Be sure to verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure the car is returned empty in that case.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at an airport often incurs an extra charge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payments.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind during your trip in case of unforeseen events. It’s simple to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extended road trips, seek out 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.
