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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Streamline your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the 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 a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically cheaper to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is usually the most advantageous choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be suitable; just make sure to return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the convenience it offers.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. 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. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Good news! You should be eligible for all of your money back if you notify us more than six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to scan your rental policy.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alexandria?
Alexandria rules state drivers must be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Alexandria?
Before you can hit the road in Alexandria, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Alexandria?
In Alexandria, like all of Scotland, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Take things slow to build up confidence driving on the opposite side if it's your first time.
What is the cheapest car rental in Alexandria?
The cheapest car rental in Alexandria within the past seven days was just $43 per day. The next best deal snapped up by thrifty travelers was $49. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alexandria?
Expedia makes it a cinch to score a reliable long-term rental in Alexandria. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find an Alexandria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Alexandria companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Alexandria?
Get your road trip off to a good start by purchasing Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency support. Don't wait until you reach the rental desk to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Alexandria ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Alexandria with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Scotland, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
