Frequently Asked Questions

What is a one-way car rental?

A one-way car rental allows you to pick up a rental car at one location (e.g., Reims) and drop it off at another location (e.g., Strasbourg), instead of returning it to the original rental site. This service is useful for trips where returning to the original city is not part of your plan.

Are there additional fees for one-way rentals?

Yes, in many cases, car rental companies charge a one-way fee to cover the cost of returning the vehicle to its original location. This fee varies based on the rental company, vehicle type, and route specifics. It's advisable to inquire with your car rental provider for exact charges.

What documents are required to book a one-way rental?

To book a one-way rental, you typically need a valid driver’s license, a credit card in the renter’s name, and a valid ID (e.g., passport for international renters). Some rental companies may also require proof of additional insurance coverage.

Can I choose a specific car model for my rental?

While rental companies allow you to select a car class (e.g., economy, SUV, luxury), specific models are subject to availability at the time of pick-up. You can state your preferences when booking, but there may not be guarantees.

Are there restrictions on where I can drop off the car?

Yes, one-way rentals usually specify allowed drop-off locations within the contract. Crossing international borders may require additional permissions and fees. For a Reims to Strasbourg rental, check with the provider if there are any specific restrictions or additional costs.
