10 tips to save on your Phillip car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV to accommodate extra passengers, a convertible for enjoying the summer sun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, 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 reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This policy can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most favorable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be convenient. Just remember to 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, though the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance while booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning to take long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a car.

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

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
