10 tips to save on your Hyde Park car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilizing filters on Expedia can help you discover the perfect match for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to reserve your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals balance cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency effectively.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements follow a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most advantageous. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides additional peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.

While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Hyde Park?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise choice for your upcoming Hyde Park trip. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Hyde Park with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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 you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
