Get A Rental Car Anywhere: Here's How

Honestly if you are looking to rent a vehicle in another country for a holiday or business trip

, the process is actually pretty much the same from country to country. Some countries call it car hire and some call it car rental, but other than that you will find a lot of similarities when renting a vehicle for your personal use.

One thing that makes renting a vehicle internationally really easy is the fact that many of the car rental agencies in the United States have international branches and counterparts, so usually if you contact a car rental agency that you are used to dealing with in the states, they can put you in touch with a car rental agency in a foreign country. Since they will be affiliated with a company that you are already familiar with and trust, you will feel much better about renting from them as opposed to renting from a no name company in the country you will be visiting.

If you are traveling internationally you will most likely need an IDP which is an international driving permit. You may want to get one just in case if you don't know if you will need it for sure so you can cover all of your basis. You need to get it from your own country and also bring your own license with you at all times when you are driving.

A lot of countries also want you to have an international insurance certificate. This document insists that your vehicle is insured. When traveling internationally, your credit cards will cover your rental vehicles; however a car rental agent will want to see your international insurance certificate before letting you pull off of the lot.

International travel and international driving do require a few extra documents, so don't be unprepared. Take the time to figure out exactly the documents you will need for the destination that you will be traveling to. You can access this information through a car rental agency (speak directly to someone at the location that you will be picking up the vehicle for more reliable local information) or through your travel agent. You may access this information online as well or contact a DMV office in your area to inquire about international travel.
