10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Transfagarasan Highway

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available to them. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before you book.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals follow a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most advantageous. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be acceptable. Just make sure to 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 convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payments.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a simple process when you book through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional fees.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
