Can I buy a product to allow me to drive in other countries?

No, regrettably, we do not offer any products which enable you to drive in other countries.

What do I have to do to take the vehicle outside the country?
Unlike Poland, which maintains the electronic registry of vehicle registration (CEPIK), other countries require original copy of the vehicle registration document. As a service, we will supply you with it. To request the document, you will have to contact the rental station or the reservation team in advance (only Monday-Friday). The document will be available for pick up at the agreed rental location within 2 working days.
Omitting this, you risk being refused to enter the foreign country or pay a fine there during a roadside check.

ATTENTION: In addition, a driving license in a form of physical document is obligatory outside Poland. As of today, your digital driver's license entitles you to drive only within Poland. Lack of a valid entitlement to drive outside Poland may result in a penalty for which we are not responsible.
