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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting your preferred vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer outings, or an economical car for budget considerations, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically have lower rental costs and are easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between expense, 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 can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure the car is returned empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: A surcharge is often applicable for collecting your rental car from airports, although this may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  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 in case of unexpected occurrences during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to embark on long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to circumvent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
