Please note, that in order to rent in Poland a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Bydgoszcz.
Before leaving the parking garage in Bydgoszcz, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
There is a serious vehicles check on the border. You should not start the travel, if your car needs repairs. Most likely, it will not pass the check. The border stations have special repair areas, and the drivers, whose cars have not passed the check, will be obliged to use their services.
In addition to the driving license, the vehicle registration certificate, and the “green card”, drivers must have a document that proves the permission to drive on the roads of Poland. This document is given to foreign drivers at the border once they pass the vehicle check. Foreign drivers are also required to have a passport.
The police often patrol the streets in ordinary cars without any markings. If the vehicle in front of your car intentionally slows down and deliberately provokes you to make a forbidden maneuver, you should be cautious. It is likely that inside that car are not ordinary people but police officers.
