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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and desired features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for cost savings, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. 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. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is often the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can be acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car with an empty tank in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience it offers.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to sidestep additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a car.
