Europe Car Hire

With Expedia, you can. Our Book Now Pay Later option makes budgeting for your Europe vacation a lot easier. Instead of shelling out at the time of booking, you’ll have the option to pay when it’s time to collect your wheels. A hold will then be placed on your credit card in the amount of the deposit. Ready to step on the gas? There’s no destination out of reach with our affordable prices and wide range of rental cars.

Scan through the rental agreement to be sure, but most rentals qualify for a full refund if you notify us at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. There are some exemptions though. Your confirmation will have more information, or just visit our Customer Service Portal.

Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you’re with the family, or scale up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked rental in Europe. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they’re perfect for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn’t need a large amount of room. They’re particularly suited to driving around cities. Getting into cramped parking spots will be a piece of cake!

There are plenty of reasons to book your wheels with Expedia. We have suppliers to select from in Europe, and we’ll help you get the very best deal with our member prices and exclusive offers. Want even bigger savings? Combine your rental car, hotels and flights into a vacation package. The more you travel and book with Expedia, the more perks you get!

Expedia makes it a cinch to compare fees, offers and providers, and to check customer ratings. Combine your Europe car rental with hotel or flight bookings to save even more.

While requirements may differ between rental car outlets, the essentials are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out the company’s auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.

Yes, and the awesome news is providers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Europe and cruise away with an incredible bargain.

Some Europe outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
