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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for summertime enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in finding the ideal match for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're likely to secure more favourable rates and have better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more economical to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals 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 vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  • 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 usually the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure to return the vehicle empty in this scenario.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may justify the expense.
  • 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 should any unexpected incidents occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking with Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning a long road trip, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a car.
