  • Check out the offers available with Alamo, Toprent and Abbycar. They rank among the city's most trusted providers.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Palanga car hire policy, whether you book with Alamo or any other supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to land a good deal if the provider needs to move its fleet around. Find the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No surprise refueling fees tacked on at the end either.

Insurance and optional extras

Different Palanga car hire providers have different insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the terms before booking.

  • From GPS units to mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, the right extras can seriously upgrade your ride. Consider which features will help you make the most of your trip when you rent a car in Palanga.

Good to know

  • Check each provider's age requirements before booking your car hire in Lithuania. Rules can vary, and added fees or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, just uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' box and enter your age to explore your options.

  • If the kids are tagging along, check if you should add a child car seat to your Palanga car hire booking. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: your physical driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards usually aren't accepted. The full set of requirements will be laid out in your booking.

  • Driving in Lithuania might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Keep in mind you'll need to stay on the right side of the road.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph through built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Lithuania is 0.04%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 8am. Make driving smoother by avoiding rush hours in general.
