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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to obtain lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between 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 to them. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to making a booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge when collecting your rental car from airports, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
  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 offers added peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It is straightforward to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extended road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.
