Question 1

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Poland?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Poland, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your hire may be denied. If you already have insurance that covers international hires for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers hire insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage. However, if these conditions don't apply to you, purchasing additional insurance is advisable. You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the hire counter to ensure comprehensive protection.

Question 2

Can I rent a car in Poland for a month?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can rent a car for a month in Poland. Many car hire companies offer long-term car hire options. It’s often more cost-effective to book a monthly car hire rather than several weekly hires. For the best rates and availability, start a search on VoyageCopilot.com to compare offers and find the most suitable long-term car hire deals.

Question 3

Why is a Credit Card required for car hire in Poland?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car in Poland, a credit card is typically required to secure your reservation and cover any potential surcharges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel. Major credit cards like Visa, MasterCard, or Discover are accepted for this purpose. The credit card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure financial responsibility for the vehicle. While some locations may accept debit cards, they often require additional documentation or a credit check. For a hassle-free hire experience, it's advisable to use a major credit card like Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.

Question 4

How much does it cost to rent a Compact car in Poland for a week?

Question 5

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is applied when you return your hire car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the hire company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your hire to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 6

What are the most popular car brands for rent in Poland?

Accepted Answer

In Poland, the top car brands frequently chosen by renters include Fiat 500, Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Golf, Toyota Yaris, Ford Focus Estate, and Tesla. These models are popular for their dependability and comfort, whether you're planning a quick trip or an extended journey.

Question 7

Can I bring pets when renting a car in Poland?

Accepted Answer

In Poland, most hire agencies, including Ace, Goldcar, , , and , allow pets in their vehicles. Some companies may require pets to be transported in carriers, and you will generally need to clean the car interior and remove any pet hair to avoid additional cleaning fees. Service animals are an exception and are allowed in the vehicle without a carrier. For specific details on the pet policy, it's best to check with the hire company before your trip.

Question 8

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.

Question 9

Can under 25s rent cars in Poland

Accepted Answer

The minimum age to rent a car in Poland station is typically 21 years old, although this can vary by region and car hire company. In countries like the United States and Canada, drivers younger than 25 may incur a young driver surcharge. In Europe, you can usually rent a car if you’re 18 years old, though additional fees might apply for drivers under 25. In Australia, the minimum age is also generally 21 years old, with extra charges possible for drivers younger than this age. Always verify the specific age requirements and potential surcharges with the hire company, as these can differ significantly by provider and location.
