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

  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 outings, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on 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: Compact cars are generally more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a balanced combination 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—might 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 rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you are required to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuelling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  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 added peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. It’s simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is required to rent a car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newport?
Rental vehicle rules in Newport require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many rental suppliers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Newport?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Newport, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What is the cheapest car rental in Newport?
With car rental rates beginning at just AU$72 and AU$76 a day in Newport within the past seven days, you'll be cruising off with your own amazing deal before you know it.

Where can I find a Newport car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Newport, you'll need to check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Newport with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave 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 on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
