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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you need a spacious SUV, a convertible for those summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to lock in lower prices and enjoy a greater selection, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size cars strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age restrictions before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements may stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This option is usually the most economical. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as long as you return the vehicle empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may be worth the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides added peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning on taking long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required when renting a car.
