Quick answer

Drivers aged 21–24 should confirm eligibility before choosing the car

The standard minimum driver age is 21. Vehicle-specific age or licence rules can still apply, so the driver age and licence details should be part of the quote rather than assumed after selecting a larger or specialist vehicle.

FDW +€12/dayOptional FDW gives zero excess for covered damage, subject to exclusions.
No deposit blockedNo rental security deposit is pre-authorised on a credit card.
Unlimited kilometresIncluded for normal permitted-road use under the rental terms.
Free second driverA second eligible driver can be added without an extra daily fee.
Minimum 2 daysThe quote calendar enforces a two-day minimum rental period.

Who this option is useful for

Drivers aged 21–24 should confirm eligibility for the specific vehicle type before relying on a price or making travel plans.

Standard minimum age 21

The normal minimum age starts at 21.

Vehicle eligibility varies

Some larger or higher-specification types can have different eligibility requirements.

Licence matters

Use a valid original driving licence and provide accurate licence information when asked.

Second driver too

A free second driver still needs to meet the driver eligibility requirements.

Why age is collected in the quote form

The car needs to match not only the number of passengers but also the eligibility of the driver. Including age from the beginning avoids offering a vehicle first and discovering later that an age rule applies.

This is especially relevant for larger, automatic or specialist vehicle types where availability and eligibility can be tighter.

Licence and identity documents

Bring the valid original driving licence and identification required for the rental. Depending on the country that issued the licence and the format/language of the document, an International Driving Permit may also be relevant.

If there is any uncertainty, ask before travel rather than relying on an online summary; document requirements should be confirmed for the actual licence being presented.

Choosing a sensible first vehicle type

For two travellers with light luggage, a small or economy manual is normally easier to fit and park than a larger vehicle. If automatic transmission is essential, choose the automatic type explicitly rather than assuming it can be swapped on arrival.

Passenger and luggage needs should still drive the final choice; the cheapest eligible car is not necessarily the right car for five people and several suitcases.

Second driver and insurance

A second driver can be requested free, but that driver must also be eligible and properly included in the rental. Insurance applies according to the rental terms and authorised-driver conditions.

CDW is included; optional FDW is +€12/day for zero excess on covered damage, subject to exclusions.

What changes the final quote

The published starting rates help compare vehicle types, but the confirmed total depends on the exact dates, rental duration, vehicle type and transmission, availability, insurance choice, pickup/return locations and any special delivery or one-way logistics.

Basic insurance (CDW) is included. Optional full insurance (FDW) is +€12 per rental day and reduces the excess to zero for covered damage, subject to exclusions. No credit card is required and no rental security deposit is blocked. Any applicable delivery or one-way fee is confirmed with the quote.

For the most accurate quote, send:

  1. Pickup and return dates plus the real handover times.
  2. Exact pickup and return locations, including airport, port or accommodation name where relevant.
  3. The car type and transmission you need.
  4. Driver age and any second-driver requirement.
  5. CDW or optional FDW preference.
  6. Passenger count, large luggage count and any child-seat need.
  7. Flight or ferry information when it affects the handover.
