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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for warm summer days, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to make your reservation well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded locations. Mid-size vehicles 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 categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental companies require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most cost-effective option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, 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 added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for transactions.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a straightforward process when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive 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.
