Renting or leasing a vehicle in Europe? Auto Europe offers budget cars, luxury autos, SUVs, motorhomes, chauffeured cars, airport transfers, and Peugeot "buy-back cars" or short-term tourist leases. If you’re feeling extravagant, you can even hire a Ferrari or other high-performance sports car from Auto Europe for the driving thrill of a lifetime.

I chose Auto Europe as our car-rental partner for several reasons:

1. Auto Europe is a North American company with more than 50 years of experience in booking European car rentals for vacation travelers.

2. Auto Europe obtains cars from a number of rental sources, which means you have a better chance of getting the vehicle you want at the best possible price. (To put it another way, Auto Europe does the comparison shopping for you.)

3. Auto Europe is service-oriented, with a 24-hour toll-free international Customer Service number and a willingness to accommodate special requests.

4. Auto Europe guarantees the LOWEST RENTAL RATES in the industry for comparable cars and services.

To check rates, or to reserve a vehicle, click the "Car Rental" tab above and follow the menus. (Please note that Auto Europe offers other services as well, such as flights, hotels, and cellular phones.)

MONEY-SAVING TIPS:

1. If you live outside the European Union and are driving in Europe for 17 days or longer, I strongly recommend a short-term lease (also known as a "purchase-repurchase" plan). You’ll save money, since tourist leases are exempt from VAT and include a zero-deductible collision damage waiver. You’ll also get a brand-new vehicle--anything from a 2-person Peugeot 106 to a 9-person minibus. And the minimum age for leasing is only 18. To price or book a Peugeot tourist lease, click the "Car Rental" tab above and then click the link for short-term leases.

2. Whether you’re renting or leasing, book at least several weeks in advance--the earlier the better. If you’re renting, the car you want may be in short supply during high season; and if you’re leasing, advance notice may be required to get a factory-fresh Peugeot car, station wagon, minivan, or minibus delivered to your desired pickup location.
