Search GetRentacarHow to get a better car rental price
The same car is often offered by several rental sites at different prices. Comparing Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda and local rental companies side by side shows you the lowest rate before you book, and Destination.chat sends you straight to the provider at its normal price.
Look at the total, not the daily rate. Insurance excess, the deposit, the fuel policy, one-way fees and extra drivers can change which offer is cheapest, so read the terms on the final booking page before you decide.
Book early for summer and holidays, when cars at popular airports and islands run out. Picking up in town instead of at the airport, or choosing a manual car, can often bring the price down. Our free Car Rental Fee Checker shows the extra charges to look for before you book.
Car Rental FAQ
Which site has the cheapest car rental?
It depends on the location and the dates. No single site is always cheapest. The same car can cost different amounts on Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda or a local rental company, which is why it is worth comparing before you book.
Do I book on Destination.chat or with the provider?
With the provider. You choose an offer here and book on the provider's own website. The booking, payment, changes and refunds are handled by that company.
Does it cost more to book through Destination.chat?
No. You pay the provider's normal price. Some links are affiliate links, so we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Do I need a credit card to rent a car?
Usually, for the deposit. Most rental companies hold a deposit on a credit card in the main driver's name. Some local companies accept a debit card or ask for a lower deposit, so check the terms before you book.
What is the insurance excess?
The amount you pay if the car is damaged. Basic cover often comes with an excess of several hundred euros or more. You can reduce it with the rental company's extra cover or with a separate excess insurance policy.
Do I need an International Driving Permit?
Sometimes. It depends on your licence and the country you visit. Some countries require one, and so do many rental companies if your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, so check before you travel.
