Car rental is one of the most sought-after services in the tourism industry, but, especially for those renting a car for the first time, it's not always easy to figure out what decisions to make to keep costs down or, simply, to avoid unpleasant surprises.
The information contained in this article will not only help you save money but also gain awareness and enjoy your vacations carefree.
1. Credit card
When renting a car, the first thing you need to know is that you must have a credit card in the main driver's name as a guarantee for the rental.
2. Book in advance
Rates vary continuously, sometimes even within the same day. The ideal time to book with us is approximately 3-4 months before you collect your car.
Apart from the economic convenience, consider that car availability may run out quickly especially in high season and grabbing the right vehicle for your needs in time can only be the best choice.

3. Delays and extra days
Remember that a delay of more than an hour compared to the expected return triggers the charge of an extra day of rental. Similarly, during the booking phase: a hypothetical booking with a collection at 6.00 pm and return at 7:00 pm the following day will be counted by our systems as two days of rental. It is up to you to organise yourself so as not to stumble upon these borderline cases.
4. Request an agreement
If you have a company or a VAT number, you can ask us to activate a dedicated agreement and travel throughout Italy with exclusive discounts and benefits.
5. One-way rental
One-way rental, i.e. with delivery to a different office than the collection one, involves an additional cost in all car rentals. However, to allow you to plan your itineraries more freely, the return to another office, as long as it is within the same city, is free of charge.
It will not constitute an additional expense, for example, to collect a car at Tirana airport and return it to one of our offices in the centre of Tirana or vice versa.
6. Keep an eye on offers
Our social channels are the best way to keep track of all the offers that are periodically addressed to our customers. Scrolling down any page of our site, you will find all the links in the footer.
Furthermore, when you are about to complete a reservation, tick the box and give your consent to receive commercial communications: it will be another great way to stay in touch with us and not miss any of the opportunities for a more advantageous rental.
7. Check carefully which countries you can travel in
In our constantly updated rental information, the countries where the circulation of our vehicles is allowed are indicated. Driving in any of the other countries is absolutely prohibited and means assuming the full economic consequences in the event of damage and/or theft, even in the event of insurance cover. Consider this aspect carefully and carefully avoid exposing yourself to this risk.
8. Choose a cover to eliminate or reduce your damage/theft penalty
I am a cautious driver, why should I choose extra cover? The question is legitimate, the covers certainly involve an additional cost compared to a simple rental.
However, our optional coverages are a way to protect you from eventualities that, otherwise, would remain at your expense. In the event of damage, in the event of taking out our coverage, you can rely on the fact that your liability has been reduced or entirely eliminated.
Among other things, choosing this option reduces the amount of the security deposit, consequently, a high amount will not be blocked on your credit card.
We invite you to carefully read the details of our additional coverages to peacefully evaluate the cost/benefit ratio. It is priceless to prevent unpleasant setbacks and guarantee you a good vacation.
