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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always review the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: There is often an additional fee for picking up your rental car at airports, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
