9 tips to save on your Airport car rental near Maasai Mara

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for extra luggage, use the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance for some of the best rates: It's generally advisable to book your MRE car rental as early as possible to secure lower rates and a wider selection. Reserving your vehicle 1-3 months ahead of time is ideal, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might have restricted availability. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  4. Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Compact or economy cars are usually less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals provide a good balance of affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable too. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Know your payment options: Most rental agencies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits. Debit cards may not always be accepted.
  7. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  8. Check for unlimited mileage: If you're planning to spend significant time on the road, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra costs on longer journeys.
  9. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
