1 2 [Next] - Obtain car rental liability or medical insurance online. Some sites (like ours) offer savings of up to 40% on car rental liability insurance. M.A.M.I. Insurance M.A.M.I. Insurance ID578 - Check that the specification is the same as what you booked before signing. Make sure the car is as described and anything extra you requested is included. Have your booking confirmation documents on hand to verify your statements. Once you have the car, check it carefully for any damage so you don't get charged for scratches or dents that you did not cause. Make sure the sales person makes a note of any damage you point out if it has not already been listed. You should be given a copy of the document indicating the pre-existing damage for your own records. Please visit Decode Worldwide Car Hire for more useful information. Nadia ID2209 - The United States State Department recommends, and I agree after my last trip to Europe: Get an international driver's license before you leave the USA.

However, using a European-based broker can save you quite a bit! US-based brokers charge more for rentals in Europe, the way European brokers charge more for rentals in the USA. It's just a matter of target audience. It's a weird world - but that's the way the suppliers (e.g. Hertz, Avis, Europcar, Dollar, etc.) have set it up.

EasyTerra Car Rental Tjeerd Kramer ID2032 - Rather than dealing with the auto rental companies that are based in the US, when traveling to Europe contact auto-europe. They have a web site and an 800#. They are wholesalers and have gotten us better rates with the same companies. They rent to any place in Europe including eastern Europe. They guarantee their rates, so if there is a problem overseas, they will refund the difference if you are charged differently. Believe me that has happened to us twice and we had no problem.
