10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Mount Lavinia

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to save on costs, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's wise to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a great balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
  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 usually the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable too; just be sure to return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Renting a car from an airport often incurs a surcharge, but this 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 peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
