It depends on the car hire company. Some companies let you drive a hire car abroad, often for an extra fee, while others don't allow it at all.

If you plan to cross a border, check with the company before you travel. Driving abroad without permission could invalidate your insurance or break the terms of your rental agreement.

The most popular car isn't always the best choice. Think about how many people you're travelling with, how much luggage you're bringing and the kind of driving you'll be doing before you book.

Where you collect your car depends on the car hire company. Some companies have a desk in the airport terminal. Others use a meet and greet service or run a free shuttle bus to the pick-up location.

• Carwiz: Airport terminal desk
• Keddy By Europcar: Airport terminal desk, Shuttle bus

Your booking confirmation will tell you exactly where to go. If you're taking a shuttle bus, allow a little extra time before you set off.

You don't have to get excess insurance, but it's worth considering. Your hire car comes with basic insurance, but you'll still need to pay an excess if it's damaged or stolen. At Split Airport, the excess ranges from around £824 to £2,707, depending on the car hire company. The cost of excess insurance also varies by car hire company.

You can also buy excess insurance separately, which is often cheaper than buying it through the car hire company.
