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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal option 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 vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're likely to obtain better rates and enjoy more options, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically come at a lower rental price and are 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 certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available to them. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is generally the most advantageous. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which can work as well—just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  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 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 should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary for car rental.
