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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to secure better prices and enjoy greater availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles tend to be more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is typically the best option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth the extra cost for the added convenience.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • 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. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extended road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
