Touring by Rental Car
Driving in Europe
In Europe the free wheeling experience
becomes more challenging with driving on the
right hand side of the road. Don’t be put off,
roads and autobahns are well surfaced and
clearly signposted. Most major roads do have
tolls so it is often cheaper and more scenic to
stay on the secondary roads.
Choosing your Rental Car
Take into consideration the size of the vehicle
you require. We strongly recommend a compact
size car for two adults. If the vehicle is to be
used for day touring from a central base and not
for transporting your luggage, a smaller vehicle
may be adequate. We suggest you book your car
before leaving home as this will save money and
ensure you get the car of your choice.
Emergency Roadside Assistance
While each vehicle is serviced and cared for individually there may be
an instance that you need some assistance. You can rest assured that
in many countries throughout Europe, Hertz provides Emergency
Roadside Assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Hertz NeverLost

countries in Europe and 300 locations, and with its seamless cross-
