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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly with demand, so it is advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often leads to lower rates and improved availability, particularly during peak holiday seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 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 the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Other agreements may allow for full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, though the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards as a payment method.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avert unnecessary expenses and provides you with peace of mind if something unexpected occurs during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
