Good to know
Age requirements for rentals vary by provider (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Hungary may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
If you're bringing the kids along, check if you should add a car seat to your Debrecen car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.
You'll need some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Hungary.
Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
Leave the car parked if you'll be consuming alcohol. Hungary takes a zero-tolerance approach to drinking and driving, and penalties may apply if you break the rules.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the Hungarian Forint (HUF) on your trip here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, have some cash handy for smaller purchases.
