10 tips to save on your car rental in and around La Spezia

Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travels, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary depending on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you're more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in busy urban areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid incurring additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payments.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides additional peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It's straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning extensive road trips, seek rentals offering unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.
