Question 1

Can international visitors rent a car in Latvia

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car as a foreigner in Latvia. However, you will need a valid international driving permit (IDP) along with your home country driver’s license. Additionally, be prepared to provide a credit card for the deposit and reservation. Rental requirements may vary by company, so it's a good idea to check with the car rental provider or use our website, VoyageCopilot.com, to find car rental options and requirements for international drivers.

Question 2

Is renting a car for a week in Latvia more cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Renting a car for a week in Latvia can sometimes be more cost-effective than renting for a shorter period, as many car rental companies offer weekly rates that provide better value. To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process. Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.
