10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Hay on Wye

  • Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, use the filters on Expedia to identify the best options for your trip.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy wider availability, especially during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age requirements before completing your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most cost-effective option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable—just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may be worth the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily 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 events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance during your Expedia booking is simple and straightforward.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you have long road trips in mind, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
