How to find a cheap car hire deal in Salerno

  • Grab a cheap rental car in Salerno and get on your way for around $194 a day. From city stays to far-flung escapes, we'll help you find the right rental for your plans.

  • August is the cheapest month to rent a car in Salerno. With average daily rates of $94, you're riding easy with savings like these.

  • Book early to secure a cheap rental car in Salerno. In addition to lower rates, you'll be choosing from the full lineup, not what's left.

  • Noleggiare, Keddy By Europcar and addCar are some of the top providers offering car hire deals in Salerno.

  • Whether you book with Noleggiare or another supplier, double-check the coverage on your Salerno car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as an optional extra.

  • Booking a one-way car hire can be your secret weapon for cheaper deals. Check 'Return car to a different location' when looking for a car for rent in Salerno. Providers sometimes need to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can bag some excellent one-way prices.

  • Save money on fuel by choosing a car hire in Salerno with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect the car with a full tank and drop it off full, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Hit the highway without tracking every mile and racking up additional fees. Go to the 'Policies' filter and choose 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you roam without limits.

Compare car hire types in Salerno

  • Medium: Choose from compact and intermediate cars that combine comfort, space and fuel efficiency. Easy to manoeuvre in cities and roomy enough for longer drives, they're a reliable fit for most trips.

  • Large: You've got the bags, the kids, the snacks, the works. Large vehicles have got the space to pack it all in without breaking a sweat. Ideal for long-distance trips, this Salerno car hire category includes full-size cars.

  • Van: Select this vehicle category when you want a car for rent in Salerno that can handle the heavy stuff. Usually featuring commercial vans and trucks, they're made to carry more, whether that's equipment, suitcases or whoever's along for the ride.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers the cost you'd have to pay if your Salerno car hire is damaged or stolen. While not compulsory, it can be a real lifesaver if something goes wrong. Just remember that not all insurance policies are equal, so make sure you know exactly what's offered.

  • Make driving easier when you rent a car in Salerno by adding some handy extras. Think things like a navigation system to keep your trip on track, or reverse cameras that take the pain out of parking.
