Question 1

Why do I need a credit card to rent a car at Riga International Airport?

Accepted Answer

A credit card is typically required to secure the rental and cover any additional charges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel, that may occur during the rental period. The card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure that the renter is financially responsible for the vehicle. In some locations, debit cards may be accepted, but they often require additional documentation or a credit check.

Question 2

What types of cars can I hire from Riga International Airport, RIX?

Accepted Answer

At Riga International Airport, RIX, we offer a wide range of rental cars to meet your needs. Whether you're looking for an Economy, Luxury, Van, Minivan, SUV, Exotic, People Carrier, or a 7-seater, 8-seater, or 9-seater vehicle, we're here to help you find the perfect deal.

Question 3

Can someone else drive my rental car?

Accepted Answer

For insurance coverage to remain valid, any additional drivers must be included in your rental agreement. If someone who is not listed drives the car, it could void the rental contract, and the insurance provider may refuse to cover any damage to the vehicle.

Question 4

Do I need a valid passport to rent a car at Riga International Airport?

Accepted Answer

A valid passport is typically required for international customers renting a vehicle. For domestic renters, a valid driver’s license is usually sufficient. In the United States and Canada, U.S. and Canadian residents generally only need a valid driver’s license. In Europe, residents of EU countries can often rent with just a driver’s license from their home country. Always verify the specific identification requirements with the rental company, as they can vary based on the country and region.

Question 5

What happens if I damage a rental car at Riga International Airport, RIX?

Accepted Answer

If you damage a rental car, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) generally covers the cost of repairs. To avoid out-of-pocket expenses, ensure your insurance policy includes zero excess. If your CDW has an excess limit, you will be responsible for paying a portion of the repair costs. Usually, this amount is deducted from the deposit you provided when renting the car at Riga International Airport, RIX.

Question 6

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The fuel policy you select will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Question 8

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a car at Riga International Airport, RIX?

Accepted Answer

All rental companies require valid insurance for financial protection; without it, your rental request may be denied. You might not need additional insurance if you already have coverage that applies to international rentals for your chosen car type or class, or if your credit card provides insurance for rentals abroad. If these conditions do not apply, purchasing extra protection is essential. You can secure your deposit by buying Excess Fee Insurance during booking on our website or opting for Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter.
