International travel

In which countries am I allowed to drive the car?
You can take a rental car from MultiRent without any problems to all 15 countries that where member states of the European Union before 1 May 2004 (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom) as well as to Switzerland and Norway.

You can only take a rental car from MultiRent to a country other than these 15 European Union countries after prior written permission from MultiRent and after signing an additional contract. Norway and Switzerland are an exception. Contact our staff for more information.

It is not permitted to drive with our rental cars in the following countries: Lithuania, Russia, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Jugoslavia, Esthonia, Albania, Latvia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine, Moldova, Macedonia.

Do I need extra insurance when traveling outside of the Netherlands?
An extra international insurance is compulsory when traveling outside of the Netherlands. This insurance includes, among other things, a replacement car if the original car can no longer be used as a result of damage or a breakdown and cannot be repaired within two workdays. It also guarantees the best possible assistance in case of problems (including, for example, when the driver is no longer able to drive).

This is because MultiRent has taken out a very favorable insurance with EuroCross, the emergency center of Dutch insurance company Achmea. The rate is € 3.50 a day (with a maximum of € 73.50 per trip). Trailers, recreational vehicles and boat trailers can be insured separately for an additional € 3.50 a day (with a maximum of € 73.50 per trip).

A similar insurance (for example IRK Plus from the ANWB) is also sufficient. You have to bring proof of this insurance when picking up the car.

Which accessories are compulsory in which countries?
In some countries it is compulsory to keep, for example, a first-aid kit, a spare pair of glasses or a reflective jacket in the car at all times. Make sure you are well-informed about this, for example by consulting the Dutch ANWB or the British AA. On www.anwb.nl (Dutch) and www.theaa.com (English) you can find information about traffic rules and the like in different countries.
