Want to rent a car abroad? Here are some useful tips to remember.

Hiring a car gives you the chance to explore foreign countries without having to depend on anyone or anything. No train times to keep track of – you’re free to go where you want, when you want. However, to make your car hire experience as worry-free as possible, it’s useful to know a few things.

Booking by email

Avis Estonia is a car rental and full-service leasing company that can help you at home and abroad. When going abroad, it is worth booking your car well in advance and, if possible, doing so by email, says Brit Aller, the foreign reservations coordinator. And although Avis has franchises all over the world, there is a big difference between booking your four-wheeler through Avis Estonia and booking it in another country.

There are three reasons for this:

• Personalised offer. If you send an enquiry by email, Avis Estonia will make you a personalised offer. In some cases, this can be a better deal than the website shows.
• A solution for business customers. As a business, you can use Avis’ convenient contract to save even more time – you get a monthly invoice and no “paperwork” abroad.
• Support in English. If you book an Avis rental car through an intermediary or, for example, on Avis.com, you won’t have support in Estonian. In this case, dealing with unexpected situations abroad can be a challenge. It’s always worth booking your vehicle here.

A car for every taste

Avis’ car fleet varies from country to country, but you’re sure to find something to suit everyone. Premium cars are available, as well as smaller city cars.

Optional extras can also be ordered for a rental car, but these vary from country to country. For example, you can add a ski box or snow chains.
