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

  1. 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 summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget considerations, utilise filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park 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 surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—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.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure to return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports; however, this may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when making a booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Ashford with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
