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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for cost savings, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect match for your trip.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. Renters over 70 may also face similar restrictions. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This option is generally the most economical. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers may justify the added cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively 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 something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, search for rentals 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.

If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Sandalwood?
For a safe, stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also provides 24/7 emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Sandalwood vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Sandalwood with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
