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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and desired features. Whether you need an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize filters on Expedia to pinpoint the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to make your reservation well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to secure lower rates and greater availability, especially during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental price and are easier to maneuver and park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • 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 fees. This is typically the most economical choice. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which can also be acceptable. Just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies accept only 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 while booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  • 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.
