Guide
Don't forget years of driving experience
Besides age, driving experience counts: for sports and premium cars, rental companies often require several years of holding a licence. The “Licence held since” filter shows which offers suit you. Bring your original driving licence and a valid ID to pick-up.
Deposit and excess for powerful cars
The more valuable and powerful the car, the higher the deposit and excess usually are. A protection package such as Smart or Sorglos reduces your risk if there's damage. Also check the included mileage, which is often limited for sports cars.
Plan your costs realistically
Some rental companies still charge a young driver surcharge up to 25. Also factor in extra kilometres, additional drivers and fuel so your trip doesn't end up costing more than expected. With many rental companies, weekdays are cheaper than weekends.
