10 tips to save on your car rental in and around K'gari

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly options, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the ideal vehicle 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 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 park in bustling areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced option in terms of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under 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 economical choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuelling options, which are also acceptable; just ensure you return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports; however, 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 unexpected expenses and provides additional peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking with Expedia is a straightforward process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning on embarking on long road trips, seek out 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 hire a car.
