What documents are needed to rent a car? – main image

More and more people are currently using the car rental service. This option is useful in many situations, both private and business, when we need to use a fully equipped vehicle that is adapted to our current needs. The increasingly easy procedures for renting a car are also encouraging people to rent a car. Today, you can rent a car online. However, you have to meet several conditions, including having the necessary documents. What formalities need to be completed to rent a car quickly and efficiently?

How long can you rent a car for?

Car rental is available in three options, short-term, medium-term and long-term. Each is aimed at a slightly different group of customers and allows you to meet the needs of both those who need a rental car for a few days and those who want to use it for more than a year.

Short-term rental allows you to rent a selected vehicle for a period of 1 to 30 days. This service is designed mainly for individuals who need a car, e.g. for a weekend trip, want to organize a move on their own, or their own car is being repaired. A medium-term rental agreement is signed for a period of 1 to 12 months and is intended for individuals and companies who need a car for a longer period.

For the longest period, you can rent a car as part of a long-term rental. Agreements are usually concluded for 2-3 years, and this service is most popular with entrepreneurs who can use it to build a car fleet from scratch that is fully adapted to the specifics of their business. Regardless of the time period for which we decide to rent a car, we will have to meet certain conditions.

Who can rent a car? What documents must be presented?

Both private individuals and companies can rent a car from a rental company. The basic condition that must be met is to be of the appropriate age - the driver and the person signing the contract are required to be at least 21 years old. The second requirement is the appropriate driving experience - the customer should have had a driving license for at least one year.

The car rental service is available to both Poles and foreigners. Depending on citizenship, different documents may be required. At Inter Fleet, Polish and EU citizens must have a valid driving license confirming at least one year of driving experience and an identity card. Citizens of non-EU countries must have a valid passport and an international driving license.

In the case of companies, the rental company requires the presentation of a complete set of documents. It consists of a NIP certificate, REGON certificate, certificate of entry in the Register of Business Activity or a certificate from the National Court Register (issued no earlier than 3 months ago). Additionally, it is also necessary to have a written authorization for the person signing the contract or collecting the car, authorizing him to enter into an obligation on behalf of the company.

In addition to all these documents, the condition for renting a car from a rental company is also to have a payment card (debit or credit), from which payment for the service provided will be charged, as well as a deposit payment in cash or as a block of funds on the credit card.

How to efficiently rent a car online?

These days, we no longer have to go to the rental office in person – we can rent a car online quickly and efficiently! To do this, simply go to the website of the chosen rental company, familiarize yourself with the vehicles available in its offer and choose the one that meets our needs.

After filling out the form available on the website, all you need to do is wait for a rental employee to contact you, with whose help you will finalize the transaction. You will be able to pick up the car at a selected rental branch or, for an additional fee, order its delivery to a specified address.

Slovakia, V Hungary by VW T3 Silesia
When we were planning a one-week vacation in 2013, our travel life changed completely, because new family members appeared in the world, two little daughters. The temptation was greater than common sense, besides, we successfully seasoned the girls at rallies, and so 2-month-old and 5-month-old babies were packed for holidays. We took two cars along the route: Slovakia - Hungary. The plan was simple, get as far as the girls would go. We planned the first longer stop in Trencin , at a campsite on an island. The location was very inviting - an island on the Vah River overlooking the castle. Picturesque? The idyll ended there, so we only stayed one night, which the gentlemen successfully used for beer tasting at the bar on the campsite. The next day we left quite late, because we were hoping that the beer percentages would evaporate, but we had to use a ruse with the driver-passenger exchange. We drove a few dozen kilometers very calmly, and then a metallic noise began to be heard from the bus. Sometimes downhill, sometimes in gear, sometimes in slack. It irritated our nerves, what's worse, we couldn't drive like this without fear of a serious breakdown. People were a bit surprised when for a moment one of the boys was running with his head against the left rear wheel, because it was from this part of the bus that the noise was coming. We decided to make a stop at a gas station to see what was causing the fuss. A dream-stop place - a station, and right next to a restaurant - the girls go to the restaurant with the kids, and the boys remove the breakdown. The joy was short-lived, because it turned out to be a brothel, not a restaurant. So the girls in the Ford were sipping cold drinks, hornets were flying nearby, and the boys were banging the wheels with a hammer. After a few hours, the decision was made - we are going to the campsite, where you will be able to look into the wheel and wait for meals from Poland if necessary. We got to Zvolen in Slovakia, well here the commune left its mark on campsites, we haven't seen such toilets for a long time. Spooky alleyways made of tin tilts, dimly lit, scary, only a few people on the campsite, scary. We have not even unpacked, hopefully remove the defect as soon as possible and move on. A few phone calls to friends, confirmation of the theory - this is a joint, a conclusion - you can go on, but it will get louder and unpleasant. In order to loosen up, in the evening we decided to make a summer cinema, we got into our sleeping bags, because the nights were already cold, and we enjoyed the Oscar-winning production Public Enemy, a strange choice for a holiday evening, so we dispersed imperceptibly to the cars. In the morning, the gentlemen tightened the bearing and we go further to Eger (the big city is our destination, the campsite was supposed to be nice, there is no point in sitting on the one that the creators of cheap horror movies demand) there we will find a shop or a mechanic. On the way, we noticed a car parts store, we stop, the seller directs us to the mechanic next door, and there a very nice Hungarian - the owner of the plant looks under the bus, confirms that it is a joint, writes the name of the part in Hungarian and the name of the store on a piece of paper. Eger and where you can order a part. We arrive at Szarvaskő , this is where our destination campsite is supposed to be, discouraged by the previous two, we cross a beautiful wooden bridge, decorated with wooden flower pots, we jostle with a slurry tanker and suddenly enter the campsite with hedge boxes, a beautiful toilet building, a shelter and a summer kitchen , a climbing wall, fire places, a lake, a waterfall, a playground and a hotel. Several cars from Poland, Belgium and Hungary on the field. Phew. it's good, it's clean and very nice. http://www.oko-park.hu/ apart from a bit of a pain in the road close to the campsite is great. From here we make bus trips to Eger , Belapatfalva , Szilvásvárad . We especially recommend the cable car route in Szilvásvárad , it is worth going up to the upper station to the waterfalls and returning on foot along beautiful paths. Here, in the parking lot, we eat a greasy, savory donut, i.e. a langosz, whoever has not tried should regret it, although the liver will forgive him for it, because it is a real caloric bomb. In Belapatfalva , we admire the monastery, we buy a tablecloth from a very nice Hungarian woman who embellishes on linen materials on the spot. We come back from the trip from Eger with vegetables and meat and in the evening we make a real stew over the fire for our new friends from Poland and Belgium. We find a pot of the right size in the camping kitchen, light a fire in the fireplace and spend a lovely evening with a couple of Poles and Belgians. In the meantime, the guys are repairing the bus. It's been so nice for us a few days, on Friday we are packing, because on Saturday some of the team are called by their duties. The other three stay in Hungary for a few more days, but they move closer to Budapest to Papa , where there is a nice campsite http://www.termalcamping.de/ and thermal pools next to it - here is half of Germany, the other probably in Hajduszoboszlo. We will catch the Hungarian Baja Rally 2013, where Krzysztof Hołowczyc and pilot Andreas Schulz took 2nd place, and we are soaking our daughter in warm waters. When traveling with such a little man, other things are important, such as a separate room for a child with a bathtub and changing table, clean toilets and a quiet campsite, and it was all there in both camps - in Hungary, in Slovakia, unfortunately not anymore. We liked it in Hungary, although we visited much less than usual, but we mastered traveling by buses in a foreign country with prams, bags, cameras and other shelters, and we did not lose anything. In 2014, we are planning a much longer route and a much longer vacation.
