Latvia Car Rental Mini Guide

Despite having one of the worst road safety records in the EU, driving in Latvia needn't be dangerous and shouldn't deter you from renting a car and enjoying a self-drive holiday. As with driving in any foreign country for the first time, understanding and observing road rules is key to a safe and enjoyable driving experience in Latvia. Outside of major towns and cities road conditions can be poor so it pays to stay vigilant whilst driving and also be aware that some local drivers may not adhere to the highest standards. Provided you stick to speed limits and rules of the road when hiring a car in Latvia there should be little to concern you.

Why rent a car in Latvia

Driving across Latvia in a hire car is the easiest and most comfortable way to see this interesting country which has some wonderful countryside, beaches and old cities. If you need a budget solution then our economy car hire range is for you and includes such models as the Renault Modus and Ford Fiesta.

You might be planning to go off the beaten track and explore more remote areas in which case one of our SUVs would be a good choice such as the Toyota Rav4. For larger goups, minvans, 7 and 9 seater rentals are available offering flexibility in capacity and excellent value for money on a per passenger basis.
