One way car rental possibilities

A one way is a form of renting a car where you drop the car off at another location than you have picked it up. This can be at a location in the same city, a different city, in the same country or even a different country. The last situation would be called an international one way rent. With a one way there are multiple possibilities, in which you are flexible with planning the route and even during your travels. You can book a one way for almost every country and it can be combined with almost all types of cars that are offered on RNTaCar. It is not possible to combine a one way between the different rental companies.

Combine different locations

By booking a one way you can travel further distances without any additional worries, because you can drive the care to your final destination and would not have to drive back to the pick-up location. The rental locations are located on airports, train stations, ports, at hotels and resorts and on different (central) places within cities. With a one way rental it is possible to combine those different locations. For example it is possible to rent a car and pick it up at the airport and bring it to a location in a city center, or the other way around. Of course, as with any rental, all one ways are depending on the availability of the rental car at the rental companies.

One way fee

For most destinations there is an additional fee when you chose a one way rental. These additional costs are called one way fee. This fee, if there is one, varies per company and per location. An overview of the fees can be found in combination with the quote for the rental. If there are additional one way fee applicable, then these costs should always be paid at the rental location. These costs are excluding local taxes.

RNTaCar gives you the possibility to pick up a rental car in the United States and drop it off in Canada, or the other way around if you prefer. There are several popular routes, like Seattle-Vancouver, Toronto-Boston and Toronto-Buffalo. When planning a trip through North-America, it is important to know that one-ways are not possible in Alaska.

No drop-off costs in California and Florida

Drive through Death Valley, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, visit Yosemite National Park and experience the famous Route 66.

One way car rentals in Europe

In most European countries it is allowed to pick up and drop off a rental car on different locations. The related costs differ per country. For example it is possible to book a one way route within the Balkans. Mostly it is allowed to cross borders and therefor international one-ways are popular in this region. These one ways between, for example, Croatia, Macedonia or Albania are available on request and an extra fee is applicable for crossing borders. Other international one-ways that are available are between or within Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Are you planning a vacation from the Netherlands? Then it is also possible to end your trip in another country, drop off your car there and (for example) fly back.

One way car rentals in Australia

For most locations in Australia one way routes are possible. Only with reservations from Tasmania, Western Australia and Northern Territory this it not an option. If you are looking for an unforgettable journey along the coastline of Australia, pick up your rental car in Sydney or Melbourne, drive all the way to Cairn or Brisbane and drop it off there. In these cities you can pick up your car both at airports or locations in the city center.
