10 tips to save on your Donington Park Racing Circuit car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for affordability, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance increases your chances of obtaining lower rates and enhances availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental fees and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is often the most cost-effective choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payments.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides additional peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
