Car Rental Destination Guides
Every destination has its own rental rules. These guides cover what's actually different — insurance requirements, road restrictions, vehicle choice, and what to expect at the airport.
Booking a car in Iceland is not the same decision as booking one in Italy or Ireland. The insurance system works differently. The road rules carry different consequences. The vehicle that's fine in summer may be the wrong choice in October. These guides cover what changes by destination — so the decisions you make before you arrive are the right ones.
