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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra cargo space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to book your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By reserving early, you're more likely to secure lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Be sure to verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements may require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most favorable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well—just remember to return the car with an empty tank in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it provides might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unforeseen expenses and offers peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking with Expedia is simple.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals with unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra fees.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Nuuk?

Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24/7 emergency help, you'll be able to breathe a little easier in the event of a mishap.
Can I drive in Nuuk with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Greenland, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
