9 tips to save on your Benin City Airport car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV with extra space, a convertible for warm weather, or an economy car to accommodate additional luggage, utilizing filters on Expedia will help you identify the best option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance for some of the best rates: To secure the lowest rates and a wider selection, it’s advisable to book your airport car rental as early as possible. Ideally, aim to finalize your booking 1-3 months in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might have limited availability. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  4. Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Smaller vehicles, like economy or compact cars, are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals provide a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the best approach. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also work; just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Know your payment options: Most rental companies require a credit card in the driver’s name for security deposits, and debit cards are not always accepted.
  7. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you prevent unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  8. Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend significant time on the road, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid extra charges on longer journeys.
  9. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
