10 tips to save on your Bodmin car hire

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your trip.
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. Booking early often allows you to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles tend to be more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, 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. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is typically the most economical. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure that the car is returned empty in those cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at the airport, but the added convenience could 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 in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
