What is the mileage policy?
The mileage policy depends on the specific car rental supplier, the vehicle category, and the rental location.
It shows whether your rental has Unlimited Mileage or a specific distance allowance.
You can check it directly in the car offer:
- When comparing offers on the website: Look at the car offer landing page.
- When viewing offer details: Select View deal and check the Included in your offer section or see all rental conditions → Mileage section.
- After booking: You can find the confirmed mileage policy on your Booking Voucher.
Difference between unlimited and limited mileage
Unlimited Mileage: You can drive without a set mileage limit during the rental period, while complying with other supplier’s terms and conditions.
Having no mileage restrictions does not mean you can cross international borders or leave the permitted area. If you plan to cross a border, check the Cross-border Travel section of the Rental Conditions before booking. Some suppliers may require written permission and an additional fee.
Limited Mileage: The rental price includes a certain distance allowance, such as 200 km per day or 1500 km per rental. The daily limit is usually added together to calculate the total distance you can drive during the rental period.
Example: If the mileage limit is 200 km per day and your rental is for three days, you can drive 600 km in total.
Use this distance for the entire rental period. It does not mean you should stay within 200 km every day. On the day you drop off the car, the rental supplier will check the car’s odometer and compare the distance travelled with the mileage allowance set for you.
If you exceed the permitted distance, the supplier may charge an additional fee for each extra kilometre or mile. The applicable rate should be specified in your rental agreement or the supplier’s terms.
Need more mileage than booking includes?
If you plan to drive more than your current mileage conditions allow, contact our virtual assistant through the Help Center before your rental date to check whether your booking can be modified to an offer with a higher mileage limit or Unlimited Mileage.
Any change depends on availability and the rental supplier’s conditions.
