10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Moorea-Maiao

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to lock in lower prices and enjoy greater availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles usually come at a lower rental cost and are easier to maneuver and park 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 fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This may also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Other agreements may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are also acceptable—just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth the extra cost for the added convenience.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only 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 lengthy road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional fees.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a car.
