Best car rental deals in Kaunas

Booking a cheap car rental is the wish of every traveller. For this, it is important to pay attention to a few things:

Reservation period. In order to book a car cheaply, it is best to make your reservation one week before the rental period. During this period, the car rental company monitors its availability very closely and adjusts its prices so as to be able to release the available cars for rental.

Ongoing events. The Žalgiris Arena in Kaunas often hosts large concerts or sports events. It is therefore important to check whether travel dates coincide with the events taking place, as during the events, a stream of customers arriving via Kaunas Karmėlava Airport will book cars for rental.

Car rental conditions. Price is an important consideration, but renting a car without a deposit or without a credit card can make the journey easier. By renting a car without a deposit, the customer does not have to worry about leaving a deposit and recovering it after the rental. Not having a credit card can be costly as the rental company will ask you to buy full insurance so that you can rent a car with a debit card without having to show the credit card often required.
 

Most popular rental cars

Volkswagen rental cars are one of the most popular brands. These models are popular with both domestic travellers and inbound tourists. Models such as the Volkswagen Polo, Golf, T-Roc or Passat have the advantage that they only need to be taken to the workshop for servicing after 30 000 kilometres. The car is driven for a considerable distance during the rental period, so there is a better chance that the car booked by the customer will not need to be serviced during the rental period.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Kaunas?

Seasonality rules apply in Kaunas. Between mid-October and the beginning of April, you can rent an economy car for as little as EUR 9 per day. You can expect this price if you rent a car for a week. Renting a car by the day will be more expensive as rental companies have fixed costs that do not depend on the rental period. If you are looking for a rental car for the month from mid-October to the beginning of April, you can find an economy car for €400 per month, a mid-range car for €500 per month and an SUV for €600 and up. It is worth noting that the SUV class can also include cars in the Crossover category, such as the VW T-Cross or the Toyota C-HR. The monthly price of these cars is usually between €450 and €550 per month.

The car rental season starts in mid-June and, depending on the weather, can last until early October. During this period, a daily rental of an economy car such as a VW Polo, a Toyota Aygo or a Seat Ibiza can cost from €30 per day. For a week, this type of car is slightly cheaper at around €24 per day. For longer periods, like a month, you can expect to pay upwards of €1,000 per month for an economy car.

In summer, mid-size cars and SUVs are the most popular, as they are usually family cars and need more space during the trip. Most often, customers rent a Volkswagen Tiguan, Passat or Toyota RAV4 because of their higher mileage and interior space. They are also economical and comfortable cars that are reliable in their class and serve their purpose well.
