• Consider an off-airport rental. Some companies are located just outside the airport and offer a free shuttle to their depot. This can be a great way to cut costs if you don't mind a short ride.

• Book ahead for peak season. If you're visiting during the busy summer holidays (December-January), book your car at least three months in advance to get a decent rate and avoid sellouts.

• Fill up the tank yourself. Always return your car with a full tank of fuel. The nearest petrol station is only a 5-10 minute drive from the airport, and it's much cheaper than paying the rental company's refill price.
