Cheap car hire in Lithuania: a jewel of the Baltic States
Lithuania is one of the most interesting destinations in Northern Europe to travel by road. Its combination of historic cities, forests, lakes and Baltic coastline makes a car one of the best ways to organise your trip. Renting a car in Lithuania is the best way to make the most of every corner of this beautiful country, taking advantage of the autonomy and freedom of itinerary that a rental car offers, as well as the comfort it provides compared to other means of transport.
Although public transport connects the major cities, many natural areas and charming villages are off the beaten track. That's why having a rental car in Lithuania makes it easy to create a flexible itinerary, tailored to your own pace and without relying on limited timetables.

Frequently asked questions about renting a car in Lithuania
Do I need a credit card to rent a car in Lithuania?
Not always. Some of our suppliers require a physical credit card in the name of the main driver to rent a car at Lithuania, 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 Lithuania, to make sure.
What is included in the car hire price in Lithuania?
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 Lithuania?
The cancellation policy of renting a car at Lithuania 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 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.
What documentation will I need to rent a car in Lithuania?

Top cities to rent a car in Lithuania.
Choosing the right pick-up point for your car hire in Lithuania is key to getting the most out of your journey. These are the most strategic locations:
- Vilnius: car rental in Vilnius is the most common option, as the capital concentrates the main flow of travellers. From here it is easy to travel inland, explore natural parks or connect with Kaunas. Vilnius is also an ideal starting point for circular routes that combine city, nature and historical heritage.
- Kaunas: Located in the centre of the country, car rental in Kaunas is a practical alternative for getting around Lithuania in a balanced way. You can also pick up the car directly at the airport and start your journey as soon as you land, optimising your time from the first day.
- Klaipėda: In the west, car rental in Klaipėda is ideal for exploring the Baltic Sea coast. This port city is the gateway to the Curonian Isthmus and some of the country's most unique natural areas. Renting a car in Klaipėda allows you to combine beach, dunes and protected landscapes with inland routes in complete autonomy.
Thanks to the manageable distances between Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda, it is possible to cover the country in just a few days by designing a linear or circular route that crosses Lithuania from east to west.
All these car rental options in Lithuania and nearby cities are available at Pepecar, where you can compare prices, coverage and conditions in a clear and transparent way.
What you should know before driving in Lithuania
Driving your hire car in Lithuania will be simple and comfortable. Driving is on the right-hand side of the road and the main roads connecting Vilnius and Kaunas are in good condition, making it easy to travel between cities.
Some practical things to bear in mind:
- Motorways and main roads are modern and well signposted.
- Snow and icy conditions can occur in winter.
- Speed limits are clearly posted and it is important to respect them.
- Traffic is generally free-flowing at off-peak times in major cities.
Travelling by car allows you to stop at lakes, forests and small towns that don't always have frequent public transport connections. Cheap car hire in Lithuania is a great way to discover the country at your own pace and in complete freedom.
