10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Friern Barnet

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match 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 ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, especially 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 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also impact renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals may require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which is acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports may incur a surcharge, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something goes wrong during your trip. It's easy to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning a lengthy road trip, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
