Guide
Plan your route and mileage
Before booking, roughly work out how many kilometres you'll drive: there and back plus day trips at your destination. If only a few kilometres a day are included, every extra one gets expensive. Some rental companies offer mileage packages or even unlimited kilometres. So compare not just the daily rate but the total cost of your trip.
Taking a rental car abroad
Whether you can cross the border is up to the rental company. You often need a cross-border authorisation, which you add as an extra, sometimes for a fee. In Austria and Switzerland you need a vignette for the motorways if the car doesn't already have one; other countries charge tolls. For German low-emission zones, rental cars usually have the required sticker.
Room for family, luggage and dog
For a family with luggage, an estate, SUV or people carrier is usually more comfortable than a small car. Some rental companies offer child seats, roof boxes or bike racks, so ask in good time, as they're in demand during the holidays. Whether dogs are allowed and what cleaning rules apply is best agreed in writing beforehand.
