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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and characteristics. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to identify the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary according to demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to benefit from lower rates and improved availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-sized 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 types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. Renters over 70 may also face similar restrictions. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  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 charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are also acceptable, but ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There’s often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, though the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of any unforeseen events during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to steer clear of extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is essential to rent a car.
