10 tips to save on your car rental in and around The Lizard

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and features. Whether you need a spacious SUV, a convertible for summer fun, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to locate the perfect match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  • 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 charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which can be convenient as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extended road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
