10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Oyster Cove

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for warm weather, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. 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 early, you’re likely to secure lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just remember to return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth it for the convenience it offers.
  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 provide peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a straightforward process when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
