Understanding costs

Companies offer different rates for additional drivers, so inquire about your situation and make sure you get the best possible price.

Here are some general guidelines:

You can add a second driver for free if it is a colleague and if the rental is paid by your employer

Adding a spouse residing at the same address as you usually is free

You can usually add a driver free of charge because of a disability

Some promotional offers may also reduce or eliminate entirely the costs associated with adding a driver

In most other cases, there is a charge for additional drivers, but these are usually low. Moreover, these vary from one company to another and depending on your situation. Make sure you ask questions about it!

All on board

Finally, some car rental agencies allow you to have as many additional drivers as the number of seats in the car. This can be a great option if you are traveling with friends, renting a large vehicle for a move or renting a car to go to your cottage and do some shopping in the village. This option is ideal for more flexibility in your travel plans.
