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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer fun, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your trip.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates fluctuate with demand, so it's wise to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your travel dates. By booking early, you're more likely to secure lower prices and have a better selection, especially during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify age requirements before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. This is usually the most beneficial option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well, provided you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often comes with a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help protect you from unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring additional costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
