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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you need an SUV for additional space, a convertible for warm weather, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best vehicle for your journey.
  • 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 in advance, you’re more likely to access lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and specific vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might be restricted. This can apply to renters over 70 as well. Always verify age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Many rentals follow a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most cost-effective option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which is acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
