10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Bad Gastein

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to find lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This could also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals follow 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 favorable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  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: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
