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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for 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 discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This also applies to renters aged over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require 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 economical choice. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience might justify the 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 added reassurance if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary to rent a car.

Can I drive in Griffith with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
