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

  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 summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to discover the ideal option 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 obtain lower rates and benefit from better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy urban areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before confirming your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most advantageous. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports; however, the added convenience may justify the cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards as a method of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your journey. Adding car rental insurance is simple when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
