FAQ

Quick answers to common questions.

Can I rent if I’m under 23?

In most cases, no. Minimum age is typically 23, but availability may depend on region and the selected car.

What does “license valid for 2 years” mean?

It means the first issue date of your driving license should be at least 2 years ago (not just the expiry date).

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP)?

If you’re a non-EU customer, an IDP may be required depending on the country and local rules. If unsure, contact support before booking.

Is the deposit charged or just held?

Usually it’s a temporary hold (pre-authorization) on a credit card. The final behavior depends on the payment provider and booking terms.

When is the deposit released?

Typically after the rental ends and the car is checked. Release timing can depend on your bank/card issuer.

Can someone else be the driver?

Only approved/added drivers can drive the car. If additional drivers are allowed, you’ll see that during booking.
