This is an important notice to make your car rental a smooth experience.

In order to provide you with the most transparent information on the price of your car rental services, we have listed on your voucher what the price paid to Auto Europe includes and what it does not include. Terms and conditions vary by country, so we have listed any local fees that you might be liable to pay to the car rental company at time of vehicle collection. These are the only mandatory fees or services you are required to pay locally to the car rental company.

The actual car rental company listed on your voucher might give you the option to purchase equipment (such as a GPS unit, child safety seat, etc.), a pre-paid tank of gas or additional insurances. Unless they are listed as mandatory on your voucher, these items are optional and you may choose to purchase them or not. If you are unsure or require further information, you should contact us at the time of vehicle pick-up on our toll-free number, 24 hours a day, as listed below (under Terms and Conditions). Auto Europe cannot accept liability for items purchased locally.

At time of pick-up, we strongly recommend that you check to make sure the condition of the vehicle is adequately reflected on the rental agreement and that any pre-existing damage is indicated. If you expect to be delayed for the pick-up of the vehicle, you should contact us to ensure that your vehicle can be confirmed after the scheduled time.

It is your responsibility to be aware of the local driving laws and local tolls or stickers required for any country to which you are traveling. Again, you can call Auto Europe on our toll-free number at any time for advice and assistance.

We wish you safe travels and hope you enjoy your car rental.

When you pick up the vehicle, you must sign a rental agreement provided by the rental company and subject to local laws. Auto Europe cannot be held responsible if you do not meet the car rental company's requirements to rent a vehicle, or it you do not have available all the necessary documentation.
