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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the perfect match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can fluctuate based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller cars are less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the best option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you sidestep unnecessary expenses and provides you with added peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when you book through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is required to rent a vehicle.
