10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Walvis Bay

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types 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, use the 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 wise to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a nice balance of affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age restrictions before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most advantageous. 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.
Save on city and airport pickups: There’s often an additional fee for picking up your rental car at airports, but the convenience may 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 provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is required to rent a vehicle.
