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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying the type of vehicle and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, Expedia’s filters can assist you in finding the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your reservation well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance typically allows you to lock in lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are often more affordable to rent and easier to navigate 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 surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This policy can also impact renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is typically the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also work, but ensure you return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the additional cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Rental car insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add rental car insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking 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.

Can I drive in Glenelg with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car.

Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
