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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're after an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, 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 with demand, so it's advisable to make your reservation well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to secure lower rates and enjoy a wider selection of vehicles, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to manoeuvre and park in busy areas. Mid-size vehicles offer a balanced combination of affordability, 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—may be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70 years of age. Always verify the age restrictions prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, which requires you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure to return the vehicle empty in this instance.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra 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 sidestep unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in the event of unforeseen circumstances during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
