One-Way Rentals (One-way Fees) – Domestic and International

Due to the partnerships that Auto Europe has built with its suppliers, often a one-way car hire between two cities within the same country is free-of-charge, if it is conducted within the rental duration. However, on some occasions a small fee may be added to the booking for a one-way rental, especially for international one-way services. There are currently two-types of one-way car hire via Auto Europe – domestic and international. When you return your car to a rental counter different to that used during pick-up, the supplier will normally charge a small one-way fee for the privilege, as predetermined in the rental terms. This can also apply even if the location is different within the actual city itself, or a different city but within the same country. Or even, a between cities in different countries (international). The one-way fee is displayed during the booking process before you make a payment. The following information will guide you through how to find this one-way charge amount.
