Top tips for renting a car in Latvia
- One of the benefits of Latvia car rentals is that you enjoy more flexibility when traveling around the country because you don’t have to abide by public transport schedules or wait for cabs. A rental car in Latvia can also be more cost effective than a cab, especially if you are planning on doing a lot of ground travel during your visit.
- If you are traveling with young children, know that kids under 150 centimeters in height must be in suitable child booster seats for the duration of the journey. You can contact your rental car company to inquire about the availability of booster seats, although there shouldn’t be an issue getting one as an add-on for your journey.
- While many of the roads in Latvia are paved, there are still some that are gravel roads and not in the best condition. Driving conditions tend to be more precarious the farther you are from populated areas. When you get Latvia car rentals, we therefore suggest you use an SUV if you’re heading into the countryside because it is suitable for a range of surfaces and offers all-wheel-drive capabilities.
- If you want to get a rental car in Latvia, you may want to use it to cross the border into neighboring Lithuania or Estonia. You will need to pay a surcharge for a cross-border policy to be added to your booking. This will ensure you are permitted to drive in both countries. It’s important you familiarize yourself with the rules of the road and any required documents you might need, as this is likely to vary from country to country.
