Car rental in Europe: Your guide to a great road trip

Planning a trip to France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, or elsewhere in Europe? Renting a car is one of the best ways to explore Europe at your own pace, from picturesque villages and scenic drives to regions that are less accessible by public transportation.

Discover our tips to help you choose the right option, understand cross-border driving regulations, avoid unexpected surprises, and make the most of your European adventure.

Can you drive a rental car across multiple European countries?

Yes, absolutely! With a traditional car rental, you can drive across multiple European borders. However, the countries you are allowed to visit vary depending on the rental company, pick-up location, and vehicle category. Some destinations may be subject to restrictions or additional fees. It is therefore important to check the terms and conditions before your trip.

With the Buyback Program, enjoy the freedom to travel across 33 authorized European countries.

How can you rent a car in Europe for several months?

Planning to spend several weeks or a few months in Europe? The Buyback Program is an excellent alternative to traditional long-term car rental, thanks to its many included benefits and rental periods of up to 175 days.

Can you pick up a car in one country and return it in another?

Absolutely! However, with traditional car rentals, one-way fees vary depending on the distance between the pick-up and drop-off locations. These fees can be substantial and may account for a significant portion of your vacation budget.

With the Buyback Program, take advantage of 21 pick-up and drop-off locations across 7 European countries! You can pick up your vehicle in one country and return it in another. Any applicable one-way fees are already included in the price displayed when you request a quote, so you can travel with no unexpected charges!
