All companies may offer a wide range of cars of different classes. According to the rules, you are required to present an international driver's license, but a domestic driving permit is often accepted, if the data are written in Latin alphabet.

The customers return the leased cars in Parking A, in Rental car return zone. When making a reservation, you can choose another place in the city where you will return a vehicle. Even if the contract is already signed, having notified the company in good time, you can change the site where the car will be returned.
