10 tips to save on your Lajes do Pico car hire

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer adventures, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
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 travel date. By booking in advance, you'll likely secure better rates and a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This restriction can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to 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 fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be acceptable; just ensure to return the car empty in that instance.
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. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek 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.
