- Valid Driving License: To rent a car, drivers must be in possession of a driving license for at least three years or be aged over 25. If your license is not in English, an International Driving Permit (IDP) may be required alongside your national driving license.
- Passport or ID Card: Rental companies will ask for identification, so have your passport (if you’re a non-EU visitor) or ID card (if you’re from an EU country) ready.
- Credit Card: Most car rental companies require a credit card in the driver’s name for a security deposit. Some may accept debit cards, but this is less common and may come with restrictions.
- Proof of Insurance: If you’re using your car insurance or a credit card that offers rental coverage, bring proof of this insurance. Otherwise, you can purchase insurance from the rental company.
Make sure to check with the specific car rental company you plan to use for any additional requirements or paperwork they might need.
