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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and specific features. Whether you’re in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize Expedia's filters to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary with demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to access lower prices and a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles 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 types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. 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 vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can be convenient as well. Just ensure you 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 added convenience may justify the extra cost.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively 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 something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is easy when you book through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning to take long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
