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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize 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 reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals implement a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the added convenience can make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help prevent unexpected expenses and provides added peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.
