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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the best options for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to benefit from lower rates and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This may also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well, but ensure you return the car with an empty tank in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports 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 peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning to embark on long road trips, look for rental options 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.
