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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal option for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy greater availability, especially 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 rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. 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 additional fees. This is typically the most favorable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
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 unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unexpected occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to bypass extra charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Wonju?

We recommend adding collision protection while reserving your Wonju rental car with Expedia. This protects your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your road trip.

It's easy to opt in to this plan while making your booking.

Can I drive in Wonju with my current driver's license?

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in South Korea, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
