What should I consider when booking a hired car?

The fair refuelling regulation

Most car hire companies work with the fair refuelling regulation. This means that you pick up your hired car with a full tank and also return it with a full tank. The advantage is that you can start your trip directly after the pickup.

The right insurance

We always recommend a fully comprehensive insurance without deductible. This way you are well covered in case of damage and do not have to expect additional costs. You should also make sure that your legal liability insurance has a high coverage amount.

Consider young driver fee

Some car hire companies charge drivers under the age of 26 a so-called "young driver fee". Make sure that in our offers the young driver fee is already included in the price if you have entered your correct age in our booking mask,

Pick up or return outside opening hours

If you wish to pick up or return your hired car outside opening hours, you should clarify this with the car hire agency. Most car hire companies provide a safe where you can pick up or leave the keys. However, automatic rental should be announced in advance and approved by the car hire company.

Can I cancel my hired car free of charge?

Cancellation free of charge

You have the option to cancel the hired car free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the rental. So if you can not travel unexpectedly due to illness or other circumstances, you are always on the safe side with MietwagenCheck.
