Europe Car Rental Tips & Advice

RSZ Rental CounterRenting a car in Europe can be a tricky business. Unlike any other travel transaction, the renter is entrusted with sole possession for a few days, weeks or even months, of a vehicle worth from $10,000 to $100,000 and is responsible for returning it undamaged. Every traveler's aim is to rent the right car at the best price and have no surprises at the rental counter or back home after the trip when credit card bills start arriving. The purpose of these articles is help our customers achieve these goals.
