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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in finding the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and benefit from greater availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a reasonable 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 vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may be unavailable. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must 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 fueling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Typically, there is a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  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 events during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when making a booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning lengthy road trips, seek 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.
