Tips for renting a car in Europe
Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Europe including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 17 January 2025.
- While there are many regions in Europe that are known for their walkability, renting a car offers the option to see more, and to see it more quickly. With no shortage of museums, landscapes, and travel destinations to explore, some of the most popular countries in which rental vehicles are desired are France, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Germany, Denmark, and Norway. When choosing the best rental for your needs, be sure to consider that many of these destinations feature narrow, winding roads. We recommend renting the smallest model to meet your needs, which is not only a cost-effective practice, but one which will give you greater maneuverability.
- When renting a vehicle in Europe, it will be to your advantage to choose a large, well-known company, as they will have more options for pickup and drop-off locations and more vehicle options to choose from. Two major Europe-based agencies are Eurocap and SIXT, although most of the major US rental agencies have locations present throughout Europe as well, such as Enterprise. If planning your pickup in a different location than the one in which you will drop off your vehicle, be sure to note that extra charges may apply, particularly if you plan to return your vehicle to a different country than the one in which you originally rented it. Italy, Spain, and far eastern Europe are among some of the more expensive one-way border-crossing countries. Additionally, picking up your rental vehicle at an airport or train station typically incurs a convenience fee.
- For ease of navigating your rental car around Europe, make sure you are familiar with the ways their city centers are traditionally laid out. Most European towns are well-signed to direct you to the “old town” or center, where tourist offices are often located. Another trick is to search for the tallest spire in view and head towards it. This will almost always lead you to the center of the town.

Should I rent a car in Europe?
Renting a car in Europe allows you the freedom and convenience of going where you want to go, where you want to go there. There are many countries that do not offer public transportation to their more rural destinations, so if you’re looking to take to the European countryside, your best option is to secure your own vehicle. This will also allow you to break free of public transportation schedules to create your own flexible itinerary.
What is driving like in Europe?
Driving in Europe is like driving in the United States throughout much of Europe. European countries drive on the right side of the road except for the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus, and Malta. Seat belts and car restraints (for children who are less than 12 years old or under four feet and nine inches in height) are required, which, along with speed limits are enforced throughout much of Europe with street cameras. Note that you are not allowed to turn right at a red light in Europe. In addition, handheld devices are illegal to use and in some countries like France and Spain, it is also illegal to use hands-free phones.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Europe?
To rent a car in Europe, you must be between the ages of 18 and 25, depending on the country in which you pick up your vehicle and which car class you have selected to rent. Specialty and luxury models tend to require higher age limits to rent, or minimally, they require a young driver’s fee. You will also need a valid driver’s license, and many countries recommend an international driver’s permit as well.
