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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by specifying vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are 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 surcharges, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. Renters over the age of 70 can also be affected by these policies. Always verify the age requirements before making your reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Certain rentals require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid incurring extra fees. This option is typically the most advantageous. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  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: Most car rental companies only 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 events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when you book through Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
