10 tips to save on your car rental around Palace of Malia

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize Expedia's filters to discover the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking early often allows you to lock in lower rates and increases your chances of finding available vehicles, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver 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 categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This may also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel arrangements, which are acceptable too; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at an airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extended road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
