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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search based on vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget considerations, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly depending on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and benefit from better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a suitable compromise 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 available. This may also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applied for collecting your rental car at airports, but 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 added peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive 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 license is essential for renting a car.

Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Heathrow with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
