Rental Car Tips & Advice

Avoid rental car surprises in Europe

Request a Car Rental Quote

Renting or hiring a car in Europe has become complicated in recent years. To help travelers with the car rental process, Gemut.com has developed a series of documents offering free Rental Car Tips & Advice.

Rent with Gemut.com. We provide knowledgeable advice and personal service.

  • Car Rental Europe: The Basics

  • Car Rental Europe: Consumer Advice

  • Car Rental Germany

  • Car Rental Insurance

To avoid unexpected fees, the traveler shopping for a rental car in Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, Croatia, the U.K., or dozens of other European countries, must be knowledgeable about insurance, currency exchange, European automobiles, and the many ways rental car and car hire companies and brokers obfuscate charges added to basic European rental car rates.

Flexibility and convenienceAdobeStock 91339473

For the traveler seeking the most authentic European travel experience, one who wants to wander Europe’s back roads and explore its small towns and villages, a rental car is truly the only choice. With a rental car comes the ability to quickly and comfortably journey to places the majority of tourists never go. Auto travelers move at their own schedule; the rental car is available whenever they need it. Trains are fast, comfortable, and romantic, but there are a lot more miles of highway than railway in Europe.

Personalized, full-service European auto rental support

No matter where you need a rental car in Europe, Gemüt.com’s experienced rental experts will guide you to the right rental car at the lowest price. For the past 29 years, we've provided knowledgeable advice and personal service to a relatively small, somewhat exclusive, customer list. Our pre-rental tips have saved our customers thousands of dollars, and our in-person, in-Europe 24/7 third-party support and post-rental service goes to bat for customers in any dispute they may have with the rental car supplier.

We offer rates in all European countries and book all major European rental car and car hire companies including Hertz, Avis, Europcar, National, Budget, and Sixt. Questions? Call 800.521.6722 or click below for a quote.

Consider a factory lease/buyback

If you need a car in Europe for longer than about three or four weeks, you may want to inquire about our Peugeot/Citroen lease/buyback program. Customers who choose this option get a fresh-from-the factory, brand new car, and are able to select a specific model with specific options... plus they avoid all the worry and cost of insurance, airport fees, road taxes, additional driver charges, cross-border fees, etc. 2020 will be our 25th year of arranging these lease/buybacks and we have yet to receive our first complaint. Call 800.521.6722 or click below for a quote.
