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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for the summer months, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to reserve your vehicle well before your trip. Booking early typically allows you to lock in lower prices and ensures better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are generally 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 fees, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. Renters over 70 may also face similar restrictions. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, 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 an airport often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth it for the convenience it offers.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies require payment via credit card only.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options 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 vehicle.
