Tips for a cheaper car rental in Seoul
- Compare several rental sites at once. The cheapest company in Seoul changes with your dates, so search DiscoverCars and Kayak before you book.
- Book early and pick free cancellation. Rental prices usually rise close to the date, and a free cancellation booking lets you rebook if prices fall.
- Compare airport and city pick-up. Picking up at SEL is easiest, but offices in town can be cheaper because they skip airport fees.
- Return the car with a full tank. Prepaid fuel and refueling charges at the counter cost more than filling up yourself.
- Check what your credit card already covers. Many cards include rental car insurance, so you may not need the extra cover at the counter.
- Bring your license and, if you can, an International Driving Permit. Outside the US many cars are manual, so filter for automatic if you need one.
