General
information and tips
on car rentals.

Rental
requirements
In most countries you
must be at least 21
years of age, with a
valid license issued
in your country of residence.
Many companies require
a major credit card
for deposit on vehicles.
Where cash is sometimes
accepted, it may be
only for certain models.
Driving into neighboring
countries, or completing
your rental in a different
town/airport may be
permitted for depending
on the company, country
and location of return.
Check in advance before
you make plans.
International Driving
Permits
Your driving licence
will be honored in most
countries, however there
are countries where
non-local Driving Licences
(in different languages
or particularly in languages
using different alphabet
structures). It is recommended
that you carry an International
Driving Permit. An IDP
is written in 10 languages
and serves as an officially
recognized translation
of your local driving
licence in over 150
participating members
of the United Nations.
Your IDP should always
be accompanied by your
valid local driving
licence.
The UN itself does not
issue driving permits,
but uses authorised
travel associations
to administer the service.
A passport-size booklet
is printed in 10 languages.
It explains that the
motorist has a driving
license from his permanent
place of residence.
The Permit has been
widely used for more
than fifty years and
is recognized almost
everywhere in the world.
For more information
and for applications
please contact your
local country motor
club organizations.
Insurance
Many auto insurance
companies do not provide
coverage for car rentals
outside your home country,
so find out before you
go. Some credit cards
may entitle their holders
to a degree of cover
for damage to, or loss
of, the rental vehicle.
Again, know the coverage
in advance.
Your Journey
Check before you leave
the rental car lot to
make sure you have all
items of your luggage,
maps you may require,
and that you do not
feel overly tired.
During your travels,
pay careful attention
to your purse/wallet
and where you keep your
car keys. Please do
not leave your baggage
unattended or valuables/keys
on a desk or table.
If you are travelling
in a group assign someone
to stay with your luggage
while all/any other
drivers of the vehicle
familiarize themselves
with the vehicle.
Your rental vehicle
Please check that the
vehicle conditions written
on the vehicle statement
are correct and if an
apparent defect not
listed is noticed when
examining the vehicle;
please notify the rental
agency right away.
Familiarize yourself
thoroughly with your
vehicle before departure.
Learn where all the
controls are and how
they operate. If you
are driving in a country
where vehicles are on
the opposite side of
the road that which
you are used to, take
additional time to get
comfortable. |
