Guide
Extra costs to expect
Because young drivers statistically have more accidents, many rental companies charge a young driver fee per day or per rental. The excess is also often higher than for older drivers. A protection package such as Smart or Sorglos reduces your risk if there's damage. Add everything up before you decide.
Mind the probationary period
In Germany, a two-year probationary period applies after your test; in Switzerland it lasts three years, and Austria also has a probationary licence. Stricter rules apply during this time, for example on alcohol, and offences quickly have consequences for your licence. Many rental companies also require you to have held your licence for at least a year.
Tips for your first rental
Choose a car you feel confident in and plan your first journey without time pressure. Take photos of existing damage at handover and ask for a quick explanation of the controls. If you're travelling with friends: only registered drivers may drive, and additional drivers must also meet the age limit.
