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
Hertz NeverLost satellite navigation system is available across 15
countries in Europe and 300 locations, and with its seamless cross-
border capability, it is ideal for independent travellers who like to know
where they are going. The system has extensive, detailed mapping,
a wide, easy-to-use full-colour touch-screen that provides access to
turnby-turn directions to points of interest including hotels and petrol
stations, simply by touching an icon.
