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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize Expedia's filters to identify 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 make your reservation well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower prices and have access to a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers younger than 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This also applies to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Alternatively, some may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well, but make sure to return the vehicle empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at an airport often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience can make it worthwhile.
  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 peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It's simple to add rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental agreements that include 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 vehicle.
