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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to find the ideal match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with 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 have a wider selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and can be easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may experience higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This limitation 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 extra fees. This is usually the most economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you 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: Many car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide 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 on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory for renting a car.
