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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for those summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect car for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be offered. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  • 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 charges. This is often the most advantageous option. Others might provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just remember to return the vehicle empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only 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 events during your trip. It’s easy to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
