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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to help identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary with demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure more favorable rates and greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This could also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. 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 often the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also be convenient. Just ensure to return the vehicle empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports may incur a surcharge, but the added convenience can make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, seek out 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.

Lastly, make sure the credit card 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 need to be 25 or older in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
