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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer driving, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the best options for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to secure your car well before your trip. By reserving early, you are more likely to access lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is generally the most advantageous. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in those situations.
  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 extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Opting for car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something goes awry during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a vehicle.

Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Many providers will also charge a young renter fee. Check the rules before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Gongju?
You'll generally require a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental providers, so it's a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Gongju?
In Gongju and around South Korea, they drive on the right side of the road. While this is the same as in the U.S, make sure you're aware of any different traffic laws.
What is the cheapest car rental in Gongju?
$157 and $204 were the lowest daily rates for rental vehicles in Gongju within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Gongju car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a car rental in Gongju, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Gongju?
You'll want to add collision protection while booking your Gongju rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against accident damage, theft and vandalism throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency support, you can get behind the wheel knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected occurs. You can opt in to this plan while booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Gongju with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in South Korea, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
