To rent a car, you will need:
The minimum driver age is usually 21 years old, but some companies may require 23 or 25 years. The deposit may vary from 200 to 1000 EUR, depending on the car class and insurance coverage. Most major credit cards are accepted, but check the specific company's terms and conditions.

Ask the company representative about the possibility of reducing the excess for an additional fee. Carefully review the insurance terms before signing the contract.
