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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you need an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your trip.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well before your travel dates. By booking early, you’re more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a nice balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
  • 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.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a straightforward process when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a car.
