10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Cahors Old Town

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to locate the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower prices and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. 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 may also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Other rentals may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable; just make sure to return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but this could be worthwhile for the convenience it offers.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment.
  8. 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. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that include unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
