Driving
Each US state has different parking restrictions, but generally motorists should expect a fine and towing if parked in an illegal area. Curbs are colour coded according to parking laws, with white, red and yellow zones indicating parking is prohibited. Green allows parking for up to 30 minutes. Most petrol stations have automatic pumps and accept payment by credit and debit card, but it is recommended that UK drivers carry cash in case their card is rejected. RFID transponders are needed for turnpikes and are usually supplied with rental vehicles in areas where tolls are common. Some toll roads also have toll booths that accept cash payment.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver.

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.
