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

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and desired features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for sunny days, or an economical car to save on costs, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the ideal match for your journey.
  • 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 more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to manoeuvre in congested areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 years may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rentals require 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 advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: You will often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience it offers may justify the extra cost.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you steer clear of unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It's simple to include car rental insurance when reserving through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential to rent a car.
