Car Rental Tips & Guides

 

🛡️ Understanding Car Rental Insurance in Europe

​

European car rental insurance can be confusing. Here's what you need to know:

​

Basic Coverage (Usually Included):

​

• Third-Party Liability - Covers damage to other vehicles/property

• Theft Protection (TP) - Protects against car theft

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - Reduces your liability for damage

 

Optional Coverage (Recommended):

​

• Super CDW - Eliminates deductible/excess charges (usually €500-1500)

• Personal Accident Insurance - Medical coverage for passengers

• Tire & Glass Protection - Covers often-excluded damage

💡 Pro Tip: Check if your credit card provides rental car insurance in Europe. Many premium cards do, potentially saving €15-25/day.

• Valid driver's license (held for 1+ year)

• Minimum age: 21 years (25 for luxury vehicles)

Road Rules Highlights:

​

• Drive on the RIGHT side (except UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta)

• Speed limits vary: 50 km/h (cities) to 130 km/h (highways)

• Young Driver Surcharge - €10-25/day for drivers under 25

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Q: What documents do I need to rent a car in Europe?
A: You'll need a valid driver's license (held for at least 1 year), a major credit card in the driver's name, and a passport/ID. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended for non-EU licenses.

​

Q: Can I drive my rental car to a different country?
A: Yes, cross-border travel is usually allowed within Western Europe, but you must notify the rental company in advance. Fees typically range €50-150. Eastern European countries may have restrictions.

​

Q: What if I get a speeding ticket or parking fine?
A: Fines are typically mailed to the rental company, who will charge your credit card plus an admin fee (€25-50). You'll receive notification by email. Pay promptly to avoid escalation.

​

Q: Is it cheaper to book car rental in advance?
A: Yes, booking 2-4 weeks ahead typically saves 20-30% compared to last-minute rentals. Summer (June-August) and holidays require even earlier booking.

​

Q: What's included in the daily rate?
A: Our rates include unlimited mileage, mandatory insurance (third-party liability, theft protection, basic CDW), taxes, airport fees (where applicable), and 24-hour roadside assistance.

​

Q: Can I pick up in one city and drop off in another?
A: Absolutely! One-way rentals are available. Fees vary based on distance and the countries involved. Contact us for a custom quote.

​

Q: Do you offer automatic transmission cars?
A: Yes, but they're less common in Europe and cost 15-25% more. Request an automatic transmission when booking to guarantee availability.

​

Q: What if I need to extend my rental?
A: Contact the rental company directly as soon as you know. Extensions are usually possible at the daily rate. Late returns without notice incur hourly penalties.

​

Q: Are there age restrictions?
A: Minimum age is 21 (25 for luxury/sports cars). Drivers under 25 pay a young driver surcharge of €10-25/day. The Maximum age is typically 75, though some companies extend to 80.

​

Q: How does fuel policy work?
A: Most rentals are "Full-to-Full" - you receive a full tank and return it full. Avoid "Prepaid Fuel" options, which are usually more expensive. Keep your final fuel receipt as proof.
