Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Europe car reservation?
Check through the rental policy to be certain, but almost all prepaid reservations qualify for a full refund if you let us know more than six hours ahead of the collection time. There are some exceptions though. Your itinerary will have more info, or just hop onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Europe?
Just about any type you like! We've got a superb range of rental categories, from standard and economy cars to SUVs and luxury premiums. Small, sleek and cost-efficient, minis are the most booked car category in Europe. These spritely little rides are a wonderful choice for short trips around town. Save big on gas as you cruise around the busy city streets. And don't stress about finding a spot to leave your wheels — squeezing into tight parking spots is a dream in a mini!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Europe with Expedia?
Pick up an amazing deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose the car class, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from all the major suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Europe car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Europe?
At least 21. But there are several age-related requirements you should know about before reserving your Europe wheels. If you're a young driver, rental providers will likely charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of cars you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between companies. Take a moment to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Europe?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Europe?
You can rent a car for a month or even longer in Europe, so go ahead and extend your holiday! Simply enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and lock in your ideal ride.
Where can I find an Europe car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find an Europe supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
