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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your trip.
  2. 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. Booking in advance usually allows you to secure lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars 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.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, 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 rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favorable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just make sure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth it for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides additional peace of mind if something unexpected occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when you book with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
