Most airport rentals on CarScanner.eu include free cancellation up to a certain time before pick-up and come from well-known global and local brands. Our 24/7 support team is here to help if you have questions before you travel or issues at the rental desk.
Your voucher will explain exactly where to find the rental company at the airport. Some suppliers have desks inside the terminal, usually in arrivals. Others use an off-airport location served by a free shuttle bus from clearly marked stops outside the terminal.
Plan a little time after landing for immigration, baggage claim, and walking to the desk or shuttle stop. Keep your phone charged and mobile data available in case the rental company needs to call you or you need to contact them.

| What you need | Details | Airport tip |
|---|---|---|
| Rental voucher | Printed or digital confirmation from our partner showing your booking details. | Save it offline in case airport Wi-Fi is slow or unavailable. |
| Driving licence | Valid licence for the main driver; some countries require an International Driving Permit. | Check licence and IDP rules before you travel, especially for non-EU or overseas licences. |
| Credit card | A physical credit card in the main driver’s name for deposit and security hold. | Make sure the card limit covers the deposit and any extra holds the supplier may apply. |
| Passport or ID | Valid identity document matching the name on the booking and payment card. | Keep it handy at the desk to speed up the contract process. |
For out-of-hours pick-up, the supplier may have specific instructions or fees – these will be shown in the rental conditions and on your voucher. If your flight is delayed, contact the rental company as soon as possible using the number on your confirmation.
When you return the car, follow airport signage to the rental car return area. Allow extra time before your flight for refuelling (if required) and for the vehicle inspection. Keep photos of the fuel gauge and the car’s condition at drop-off, especially outside normal opening hours.

| Policy or fee | What it means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Full-to-full fuel | You receive the car full and must return it full. | Keep the last fuel receipt and aim to refill near the airport to avoid refuelling charges. |
| Pre-purchase fuel | You pay for a full tank in advance, sometimes with a non-refundable service fee. | Decide if you are likely to use most of the tank; check if unused fuel is refunded. |
| Unlimited mileage | No charge for distance driven. | Ideal for road trips – still respect cross-border and territory limits. |
| Limited mileage | Daily or total kilometre allowance, with extra charges if exceeded. | Estimate your route; extra mileage at airports can be expensive. |
| Airport surcharge | Extra fee applied for pick-up at an airport location. | Verify if it is already included in the final price shown before you book. |
Airport rentals can come with higher surcharges than city branches, so it is important to understand the fuel and mileage conditions before you confirm. On CarScanner.eu you can see the key policies for each offer and open the full rental conditions on the partner site.
If you are unsure which option is best, look for full-to-full fuel and unlimited mileage, and allow for extra driving if you plan day trips away from the airport city.

Many airport locations allow one-way rentals, so you can pick up a car at your arrival airport and drop it at another city or airport. A one-way or drop fee usually applies, and it is either included in the final price you see or clearly listed in the rental conditions.
When you search with a different drop-off location, our system shows only offers that allow that route. Always review the total cost, including any one-way charge, before confirming your booking on the partner site.

Cross-border travel is always subject to the rental company’s approval and country rules. Some suppliers allow you to drive into neighbouring countries only, others may restrict certain regions or vehicle types, and additional insurance or fees can apply.
Before you book, check the cross-border policy in the rental conditions and make sure your route is permitted. At the airport desk, confirm your planned itinerary and keep proof of any approvals noted in the contract.
