Car rental guidance for international travellers

When renting makes sense

A rental car earns its cost when you are travelling with family or luggage, staying outside a city centre, visiting several towns in one trip, or going somewhere with limited public transport — road trips, safari lodges, wine regions and coastal drives are typical cases.

When public transport is better

In dense cities with good metro and rail networks, a car is often slower and dearer than the alternatives once parking, congestion charges and one-way systems are counted. If your trip is mostly inside one city, compare a few days of taxis or transit passes against the rental total plus parking.

Driving licence and documents

Requirements differ by country: some accept your home licence, some ask for an International Driving Permit alongside it, and minimum age or minimum licence-held periods vary by supplier. Confirm the rules for your specific destination and with the rental company before you book, and carry your passport as well.

Deposits and card holds

Most companies place a hold on a credit card in the main driver's name at pickup. Debit cards and cash are often not accepted for the deposit. Check the hold amount and the release time so the funds do not surprise you mid-trip.

Insurance and the excess

Basic cover usually carries an excess — the amount you pay if the car is damaged. You can reduce it with the counter product or with separate excess insurance bought beforehand, which is often cheaper. Understand what is excluded, commonly tyres, glass, undercarriage and roof.

Fuel policies

Full-to-full is usually the fairest: you collect a full tank and return it full. Full-to-empty or pre-purchase policies mean you pay for a whole tank at the supplier's price and rarely get value from what you leave behind. Photograph the fuel gauge at pickup and return.

Automatic versus manual

Manual cars dominate in much of Europe and are cheaper; automatics are the norm in North America and the Gulf. If you only drive automatic, book one specifically rather than relying on availability at the counter, and book earlier as automatic stock runs out first.

Airport pickup

Airport desks are convenient but often carry a premium or airport surcharge, and some are off-site with a shuttle. Check the desk's opening hours against your arrival time — a late flight can leave you locked out of your booking.

Common mistakes to avoid

Underestimating the deposit, ignoring the excess, missing a cross-border restriction, adding extra drivers only at the counter, choosing a car too large for narrow streets and parking, and returning late — charges usually start after a short grace period.

Check these before you drive away

  • Walk around the car and photograph or film every existing scratch, dent and wheel
  • Check that all damage is written on the rental agreement before you sign
  • Confirm the fuel level and the fuel policy in writing
  • Test lights, wipers, air conditioning and the spare or repair kit
  • Ask which fuel type the car takes
  • Confirm the mileage allowance and any cross-border or off-road restrictions
  • Note the return location, time and after-hours drop-off procedure
  • Keep the rental agreement and the supplier's emergency number with you

Driving rules, licence requirements, insurance products and rental terms differ by country and by supplier, and they change. Our team confirms the current requirements for your destination, and we help you read the rental conditions before booking.

Good to Know

Car rental FAQs

What documents do I need to rent a car abroad as a Nigerian?

You typically need your valid Nigerian driver's licence, an International Driving Permit (IDP) for most countries, your passport, and a credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit. We advise on the requirements for your destination before you book.

Can I cancel or change my car rental booking?

Cancellation and change conditions are set by the rental company and vary by rate. Many rates allow free cancellation up to a set time before pickup — we confirm the exact conditions with you before anything is booked.

Is insurance included in the rental price?

Insurance coverage varies by supplier, destination and rental rate. Review the specific coverage, exclusions and excess before booking.

Can someone else drive the rental car too?

Additional drivers can be added to most bookings, sometimes for a small daily fee. Every driver must be present at pickup with their licence and meet the rental company's age requirements.
