9 tips to save on your Airport car rental near Geelong

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for extra luggage, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your trip.
  • Book in advance for some of the best rates: To secure lower rates and a wider selection, it's usually best to book your airport car rental as early as possible. Ideally, aim to finalize your booking 1-3 months in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might have limited availability. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  • Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Smaller vehicles, like economy or compact cars, are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals provide a solid balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most favorable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options as well; just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  • Know your payment options: Most rental companies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits, and debit cards may not always be accepted.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid 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.
  • Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend significant time on the road, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges on longer journeys.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
