10 tips to save on your Walvis Bay car hire

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer enjoyment, 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 rates can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years old may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age restrictions before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favorable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the extra cost.
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 provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that include unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra fees.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
