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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer joyrides, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 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 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs an additional fee, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for transactions.
  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 is a straightforward process 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 extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a car.

Can I drive in Jos with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Nigeria, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card 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 older in most countries 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 getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
