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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, use Expedia's filters to discover the ideal car for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable 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.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
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 can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable too—just remember to return the car empty in those cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it can be worthwhile for the added convenience it offers.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if an unforeseen situation arises during your trip. It's easy to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.

Can I drive in Pelham with my current driver's license?

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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 vehicles you can rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
