When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Poland vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Poland are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Szczecin, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Foreign drivers, who are going to travel on the roads of Poland in a private car, should not forget to attach the sign of the country where the vehicle is registered. Otherwise, using the vehicle is considered unacceptable.
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.
