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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and desired features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV to accommodate extra passengers, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car to save money, 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 wise to book your car well ahead of your trip. By reserving early, you’re likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically cost less to rent and are easier to navigate and park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and specific vehicle types, such as SUVs or premium models, might be unavailable. This could also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age requirements before finalizing your 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 additional fees. This option is usually the most economical. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable—just 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 convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind during your trip. It’s easy to add this insurance option when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a car.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Stanford with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Stanford car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Stanford?
Rental vehicle rules in Stanford require drivers to be 18 and above. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Stanford?
While requirements may differ between outlets, generally the essentials are a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Stanford?
In Stanford, like all of South Africa, you drive on the left side of the road. Slow down and get comfortable driving on the left if you've never done it before.
What is the cheapest car rental in Stanford?
The two cheapest daily prices on offer in Stanford within the past seven days were $25 and $26. How's that for a great deal? These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Stanford?

Where can I find a Stanford car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Stanford providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Stanford?
After perfectly planning your vacation, don't scrimp on safety — add collision protection while booking your Stanford car rental with Expedia. There are tons of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24-hour emergency help, you can breathe a little easier if you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Stanford with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most places 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
