Car rental companies in Lithuania
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental suppliers across Lithuania, providing you with a convenient and flexible network of stations. In Vilnius, you can pick up a car from central locations — primarily the Vilnius International Airport (VNO) offering accessible counters for arrivals, as well as from stations in the city and near the Vilnius railway station and the old city. Outside the capital, additional pick-up points await you in Kaunas and at Kaunas Airport (KUN), in the port city of Klaipeda, and at Palanga Airport (PLQ), allowing you to tailor your travel route for a free and comfortable driving experience. Thanks to the nationwide network, you can choose pick-up and return in the same city or at different points in the same destination, depending on the supplier's policy and car availability, and enjoy full flexibility between urban trips, nature trips, or jumps from the coast to forests and lakes.
Operating hours vary between companies and stations and sometimes even on different days of the week. Therefore, it is particularly important to ensure that the hours at your chosen station match your flight or arrival times, to receive the car at the best time and place for you. At certain locations, it is possible to arrange pick-up or return outside of business hours or leave a key in a return box, subject to supplier approval and conditions. In Lithuania's winter seasons, there are specific safety regulations, including suitable winter equipment; we will ensure with the supplier that the car meets local requirements at the time of rental. To streamline the process, make sure to arrive with a passport and an international credit card in the name of the main driver and make the reservation in advance to ensure availability in your preferred category.
FAQ – Car rental in Lithuania
What is the minimum age to rent a car, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
In Lithuania, when renting through Auto Europe Israel with Europcar, the minimum age is 21 with at least one year of driving experience. Drivers aged 21-24 are typically subject to a young driver fee paid at the counter and the amount may vary by car group. Certain categories may require age 25 and above.
Is an Israeli driving license sufficient, or is an international license required?
When picking up the car in Lithuania through Auto Europe Israel with Europcar, a valid Israeli driving license issued at least a year ago and a passport must be presented. Since the Israeli license is not entirely in Latin letters, Europcar in Lithuania may require an international driving permit (IDP) in addition to the Israeli license; it is recommended to bring it to avoid delays.
What does the basic insurance package include, and what additional insurance is recommended?
When renting a car in Lithuania through Auto Europe Israel with Europcar, the basic insurance usually includes CDW (Collision Damage Waiver for the rented vehicle) and TP (Theft Protection) with excess, and third-party liability insurance according to local law. A deposit by credit card equal to the estimated deductible is required. You can add extensions such as excess reduction (Super CDW/Excess Reduction), windshield and tire coverage, personal accident insurance (PAI), and extended roadside assistance. It is advisable to check the specific reservation conditions before collection.
Can an additional driver be added, and what is the associated cost?
Yes. In Lithuania, through Auto Europe Israel with Europcar, an additional driver meeting the same age and experience conditions can be added. They must be present at the counter with a valid license (and if necessary IDP). The addition involves a daily fee charged on site and sometimes there is a rental charge cap. It is advisable to add the additional driver already when booking to ensure proper registration.
What is the fuel policy - do I need to return the car with a full tank?
In most rentals in Lithuania through Auto Europe Israel with Europcar, the policy is full-to-full: you receive the car with a full tank and return it full. Returning without refueling will incur a charge for fuel and service according to the local rate.

Tips for car rental in Lithuania
Here are four selected tips for renting a car abroad, based on up-to-date knowledge and field experience. They will help you compare wisely, understand the small conditions, and avoid charges and surprises at the pick-up and return point with complete peace of mind.
Ensure Means of Payment for Deposit
Bring a physical credit card in the name of the main driver with a sufficient limit. Certain cars require more than one card. Debit/prepaid cards are usually not accepted for deposits.
Check Insurance Coverage and Exclusions
Understand the level of the deductible and what is not covered (windshield, tires, underside). Consider excess waiver coverage and ensure compliance with conditions for young or additional drivers.
Plan Fuel Policy Ahead
Prefer full-to-full, refuel close to return, and keep the receipt. Photograph the fuel gauge to prevent charges. Avoid policies requiring prepaid fuel if unsure about consumption.
Toll Roads, Vignette, and Cross-Border Travel
Check if a vignette is required and how tolls and bridges are paid. Set the navigation to avoid tolls if needed, and obtain written approval for border crossings or ferry crossings.
