10 tips to save on your Oia car hire

Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
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 trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are 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 surcharges, and particular vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals adhere to a full-to-full fuel policy, indicating you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Other rentals may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is simple.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
