10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Solo City Centre

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, making it wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to obtain 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 easier to maneuver in busy 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 certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making your 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. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable, but ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind if unforeseen events arise during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If your plans include long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
