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

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 summer enjoyment, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you discover the best option for your journey.
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 better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are generally more affordable to rent and easier to park in congested areas. Mid-size rentals offer a good balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and specific vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
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 often the most beneficial option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in such cases.
Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but this may be worthwhile for the added convenience it provides.
Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards as a method of payment.
Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
Bring your driver's licence and ID: A valid driver's licence is required to rent a car.
