How does it work?

Find and book a vehicle

It does not matter if you need a vehicle now, in an hour or on another day. Using the function Find cars you have access to all our available vehicles and you will surely find what you need.

You want to rent a small car or a transporter, close by or at a certain destination? We are sure one of our numerous locations will be in a convenient distance to you. Just enter start and end data of the planned rental period and the vehicles will be shown with their present location on a map.

Once you have found and booked the vehicle you need, you will receive a confirmation e-mail and you can start your journey.
