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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re likely to secure lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically less expensive to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements before confirming your 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 favourable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the vehicle empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added 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 peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your journey. Adding car rental insurance while booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in London with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's 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 many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off 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 onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
