Cheap Eco by Europcar Car Hire in Canberra

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Canberra, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
