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

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