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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by 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 identify the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary with demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance increases your chances of obtaining lower rates and enhances 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-size rentals offer a reasonable compromise 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—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. 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 typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from 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 unforeseen expenses and provides added peace of mind if unexpected situations arise during your trip. It’s straightforward to include car rental insurance when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals with unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
