Where to rent your car for your stay abroad?

First of all, check whether the country of destination does not impose certain additional rules. And for good reason: some countries require the lesser to be 21 years old and one year of minimum permit , otherwise they will refuse the hire, when others do not rent certain models (such as a minivan or a commercial vehicle) for over 25 years .

Several solutions are possible to rent your car abroad but some are more risky than others.

• International Rental Agencies: Many car rental companies develop their rental networks in a multitude of countries. By going through one of these agencies, you ensure a reliable booking, a serious service and a clear and understandable insurance contract. Unfortunately these conditions are usually paid at a high price.

Local car rental companies: they have the advantage of being economically more interesting since they offer used vehicles and therefore cheaper. Independent rental companies do not all have a good reputation, so it is essential to inquire on the internet or in travel guides before heading to the first comer on your arrival. Rental conditions may be different and insurance contracts may be less legible.

• Renting between individuals: more and more democratized, it makes it possible to rent a car at half-day, day or even hourly. The main advantage is to reduce rental costs. The best solution is to go through an intermediate platform that will reduce the risk of fraud and incorporate certain guarantees.
