What do I need to pick-up my car?

Reservation vouchers are required. Auto Europe's vouchers contain specific information about the car you have reserved, the rental rate, and other details. Vouchers are emailed to you immediately upon receipt of payment. If you prefer a faxed copy, please let us know at time of booking. A rental agreement is completed at the rental counter at the time of pick-up. See our Sample Voucher for more information.
