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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance typically allows you to lock in lower rates and ensures better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are generally more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and specific vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals 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 favorable option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking through Expedia is a simple process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

Where can I find a Cornwall car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 years old in Cornwall often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not have any extra fees for this age range. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to avoid extra charges on pickup.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Cornwall?
Purchase collision protection while booking your Cornwall rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency assistance, you can drive away knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected happens. It's easy to opt in to this insurance while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in Cornwall with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Canada, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, 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 documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 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 the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
