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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and features you need. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to save money, utilizing filters on Expedia will help you locate the ideal option for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your travel date. By booking in advance, you are likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. 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. Renters over 70 years old may also face similar restrictions. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be convenient. Just ensure that you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: While picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
