You need a valid driver’s license (an International Driving Permit is recommended if your license is not issued in the EU or not in Latin characters), a passport or ID card, a credit card in the main driver’s name, and your booking voucher. Most companies require the driver to have held a license for at least one year.

Many rental companies prefer a credit card for the security deposit. However, some local suppliers may accept debit cards or cash deposits. Check the payment terms carefully before confirming your reservation.
