10 tips to save on your Chinatown car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize Expedia's filters to discover the best option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, making it wise to secure your car well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you're more likely to find lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a great compromise between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle options—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is often the most economical choice. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also work—just ensure you return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many 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 additional peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
