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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're after 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 ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower prices and have a wider selection, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Generally, smaller vehicles are less expensive to rent and simpler to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. 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 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favourable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which can also be convenient. Just ensure you return the car empty if you choose the latter.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience it provides may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and offers peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
