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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economical car to save money, use the filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect vehicle for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically have lower rental rates and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a great balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, 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 rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favorable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can also be convenient. Just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and provides peace of mind if unforeseen issues arise during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:
