Cheap Europcar Car Hire in Bochum

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

When hiring a car in Bochum, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Europcar. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Bochum by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Europcar typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Bochum, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
