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

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary depending on demand, so it's advisable to make your reservation well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy urban areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 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 the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
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 often the most advantageous option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge; however, 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 avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.
