Frequently asked questions about renting a car in Hungary

Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Hungary?

Not always. Some of our suppliers require a physical credit card in the name of the main driver to rent a car at Hungary, but many others accept a debit card! However, it must always be physical and in the name of the main driver. Check the terms and conditions of each offer before renting your car at Hungary, to make sure.

What is included in the car hire price in Hungary?

The price shown on Pepecar includes the items detailed in the Supplier Conditions displayed during the booking process.

It normally includes:

  • Vehicle hire for the selected period.
  • Compulsory basic insurance (with excess, unless otherwise stated).
  • Mileage according to the contracted rate.
  • Mandatory taxes and fees.

Each vehicle may have different conditions, so it is important to always review the ‘Rental Conditions’ section before confirming your booking.

What is Pepecar's cancellation policy for cheap car hire in Hungary?

The cancellation policy of renting a car at Hungary with Pepecar is very simple! If you cancel 48 hours before the car collection time, the cancellation will be completely free of charge. If not, there will be a cancellation penalty which you will be informed of during the booking process.

Is Pepecar cheaper than renting directly from a supplier?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the supplier, the location, the dates, when you make the booking and how far in advance, and ultimately on the prices set by the suppliers compared to those set by Pepecar for each occasion. Pepecar is not restricted by suppliers when setting its own prices; we set our own rates.

Before confirming your booking, you should check:

  • The total price and what it includes.
  • The deposit that will be paid or blocked on your card.
  • The type of cover included and the excess.
  • The fuel policy.
  • The cancellation and modification conditions.
  • The documentation you need to present when picking up the vehicle.

At Pepecar, this information is detailed in each offer, so you will have no doubts before deciding which vehicle to rent. The aim is to ensure that renting a car is an informed decision and that, once you have made it, all you have to do is enjoy your rental car without any worries.

Generally GOOD experience, but I DON'T like working through middlemen to get the "BEST" rate when renting cars -- especially in Spain.

I sometimes get the feeling that the entire car rental ecosystem in Spain is nothing more than a rigged game.
