Renting a car

Comparison sites such as DiscoverCars, EconomyBookings and Auto Europe search many rental companies at once. Compare the full price including insurance, check the fuel policy (full-to-full is usually the fairest) and note the deposit the rental desk will hold on your card.

Some countries require an International Driving Permit alongside your license, and rental companies may set minimum ages or add young-driver fees. Check the rental terms before you book.

Airport transfers

A pre-booked transfer is a fixed-price ride from the airport to your accommodation, and the driver usually tracks your flight. It is worth considering when you land late, travel with luggage or children, or arrive somewhere taxis are hard to judge. Kiwitaxi, Welcome Pickups and Intui all offer transfers in many cities.

Trains, buses and ferries

For short and medium distances, trains and buses are often cheaper and less stressful than flying. Omio compares trains, buses and flights across Europe and beyond, while 12Go specializes in Asia, including ferries to the islands.

Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to book a rental car in advance?

Usually, especially in peak season and at airports, where cars can sell out. Booking with free cancellation lets you secure a car now and rebook if prices fall.

Do I need extra insurance for a rental car?

Rental prices usually include basic cover with a high excess (deductible). You can reduce the excess with the rental company, through the booking site or with separate cover, and some credit cards include it. Compare what each option covers before you decide.

What is the difference between a transfer and a taxi?

A transfer is booked in advance at a fixed price and the driver meets you on arrival. A taxi is hired on the spot and usually charges by the meter or a local tariff.

Are trains cheaper than flying?

On short and medium routes, trains and buses are often competitive once you add airport transfers and baggage fees to the cost of a flight. On long distances, flying is usually faster and can be cheaper. Compare both for your route.
