10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Clyde

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the best vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your travel date. By booking in advance, you're likely to secure lower rates and better vehicle availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to 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 deposit requirements or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This could also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you'll need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty if you choose this option.
  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 cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only 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 any unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a straightforward process when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

A thorough insurance policy is a smart idea for your Clyde getaway. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia.

Can I drive in Clyde with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
