Car rental insurance can be tricky to navigate and often isn't what you expect, by booking with us direct you'll receive the correct insurance for your rental.

When you collect your vehicle
Plan ahead. We recommend planning your route before you leave, especially when renting a car at an airport. Are you sure where you're meeting your chaperone or where the rental desk is? Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.

Have the correct documents ready. We try and keep the check in process as painless as possible but we do need to process certain information for legal reasons so having these ready ahead of time can help speed up the process. Make sure you have your booking details ready, along with your driving licence, passport and valid credit card.

Complete a vehicle check. It's essential when you are taken to your car you complete a Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) and note any existing damage, paying particular attention to the five damage hotspots. If you don't report this, you may be liable for these damages when you return the vehicle. We don't want you to get caught out, so we've put together a handy vehicle inspection video to help you check everything thoroughly.

While you rent
Take care. Unfortunately you may be liable for any damage caused to a vehicle in your care, and this will vary depending on the product you choose. A large proportion of damages to any car can be dings you pick up in car parks, so be mindful when space is limited and park further away and walk a little further to your destination.

When you return your vehicle
Complete a vehicle check. It's time to carry out a VCR again and even more essential to fully log any damage, no matter how small, to ensure you are fully covered and we can process your return effectively. Be sure to check the vehicle as before, paying special attention to the five damage hotspots.

Good to know about car rental at Gdansk Airport


Once you have landed at Gdansk Airport and picked up your rental car from the designated office, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey!

In Poland, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

The speed limits in Poland are generally 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h on secondary roads, and 140 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.

From November 1 to March 31, winter tires are strongly recommended, especially in mountainous areas. By law, vehicles in Poland must carry a reflective safety vest and a warning triangle. These should be used in case of breakdowns or accidents, but don’t worry – we take care of those if you choose our rental car!

The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.02%, and penalties for driving under the influence are strict, including fines, license suspension, or imprisonment.

Drivers must stop for pedestrians at marked crosswalks, as pedestrians always have the right of way. Gdansk's Old Town is largely pedestrianized, so parking is not allowed inside the historic center. Instead, use designated parking lots outside the Old Town and explore the area on foot.

In urban areas, pay attention to parking zones marked by different colors: blue zones indicate paid parking, while yellow zones are reserved for specific uses (such as deliveries or disabled parking). Parking near tourist spots in Kraków can be limited, so it’s advisable to plan ahead or use public parking garages.

While fuel stations are readily available in cities and along highways, they may be less frequent in more remote or rural areas. It is advisable to fill up your tank when traveling to less-populated regions.

Poland has a network of toll roads (autostrady) that connect major cities and regions. Tolls can be paid in cash, by credit card, or through an electronic toll collection system.

If you need help during your stay in Gdansk, please don’t hesitate to contact us. In case of emergencies, dial 112 for all emergency services.
