What should I check before booking the car?
Compare the deposit and the cover levels on each car, including the excess and what each cover level includes in the car's insurance comparison. Standard insurance excludes damage to the wheels, undercarriage, windscreen and interior; check the car for what a higher level adds.
If you need an automatic gearbox, set that filter before choosing. Check the car's minimum driver age and experience, and bring your original valid licence with details in Latin script. Copies and electronic licences are not accepted.
Your booking may require a physical embossed credit card in the main driver's name. If a debit card is accepted, the booking and voucher say so; it must also be physical, personalised, embossed and in that name. Keep your booking phone number reachable during the rental and on the day before pickup.
