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 Wroclaw, 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.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
November 1 is called the "Black Day" not by accident. According to the statistics, the majority of road accidents in the country happen on this day. Private car owners try to refrain from driving and tourists prefer walking on this day.
All major European traffic regulations are valid in Poland. Speed limits in the country are also standard. In the city the speed limit is 50 km/h, and on country roads the limit is 90 km/h. On freeways, there are other speed limits. As a rule, drivers are allowed to increase the speed of up to 110 km/h.
Polish drivers also have some unspoken rules. If drivers on the opposite lane “wink” with their beams, that means they want to warn others either about the radar installed ahead or about the presence of the road patrol. If you want to ask the vehicle in front your car to give way, you also need to turn on and off your car’s headlights.
