10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Rottnest Island

  • 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 enjoyment, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit 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 in advance, you’re likely to find lower prices and better availability, especially during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available to them. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favorable option. Other rentals may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are acceptable as well, but make sure to return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it offers may make it worthwhile.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case 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 steer clear of additional fees.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
