Taking a rental car abroad — how to do it properly

One of the most frequent questions we get: "Can I take the car to Austria / Slovakia / Croatia?" Short answer: yes — but it matters how.

The most important rule: you need permission

Taking a rental car across the border is only permitted with the lessor's permission. You have two options:

VING Extra Coverage package (€11/day)

— includes use abroad, unlimited km and premium assistance beyond the border too

Individual written permission for a separate fee

— let us know at booking where you're heading

What you must never do: cross the border without permission

The penalty is €40, and in case of damage, your liability is much higher.
