With SIXT, renting a car in Europe is a convenient way to explore the continent—but there are a few things U.S. travelers need to know.\nTo rent a car in Europe with SIXT, you’ll need a **valid U.S. driver’s license and passport.** In many countries, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required by law. In most cases, you’ll also need a **credit card in the main driver’s name** at pick-up. Please make sure to take your physical papers with you when coming to pick up your car rental. \nFor city driving in Rome or Paris, [compact cars](https://www.sixt.com/compact-car-rental/) like the VW Polo or Renault Clio are perfect for narrow streets and tight parking. In mountainous regions such as the Alps or Dolomites, diesel wagons or [SUVs](https://www.sixt.com/suv-rental/) provide extra power and all-wheel drive for safety, especially in winter. Families or groups benefit from our multi seater-vans. SIXT offers the whole range of car models for your need and additionally premium electric models.\n\n[_cta: Start Your Europe Car Rental Now](https://www.sixt.com/betafunnel/#/offerlist#)\n\n[/column]\n[column]\n[accordion]\n# Do I need an International Driving Permit in Europe?\nYes, in several countries. It’s inexpensive and helps avoid fines—get it in your home country before you travel.\n\n# Can I rent a car if I’m under 25 in Europe?\nYes, but expect a daily young driver fee. Age limits also vary for certain vehicle types. You can find detailed information by country for the minimum age in our [rental information](https://www.sixt.com/php/terms/view?language=en_US&liso=US&rtar=000&view=EPP&tlang=en_GB&style=typo3). \n\n# Are automatic cars available?\nYes, they are available. Be sure to select an automatic when booking—manual is still standard in much of Europe. You can also check with our agents in the branch who will make sure you have an automatic.\n\n# Can I use a debit card?\nYes, but only at some SIXT locations, and with additional ID. A credit card is the smoothest option.\n\n# Are toll roads common in Europe?\nYes. Many European countries have toll roads, bridges, or vignettes (prepaid stickers). Make sure your europe car rental is compliant to the countries you are planning to go. Check our [toll roads page](https://www.sixt.com/rental-guide/toll-roads/europe/) for more information. \n\n# Can I rent a car and drive it across Europe?\nYes, with SIXT you can rent a car and drive it across many European countries. Cross-border travel is allowed on most rentals, but some restrictions apply depending on the vehicle type and the countries you plan to visit. Just let us know your travel plans when booking, and we’ll make sure everything’s set up for a smooth journey. You can check which countries are included in cross-border rentals [here](https://www.sixt.com/php/terms/view?language=en_US&liso=DE&rtar=000&view=EPP&tlang=en_GB&style=typo3).\n\n\n[/accordion]\n[/column]\n[/grid]\n[/section]\n\n[section heading=\"Cross-Border and Travel Guide for Car Rental in Europe\"]\n[grid]\n[column]\n\nTraveling across European borders with your SIXT rental? Here’s what U.S. travelers need to know about permitted countries, authorizations, fees, and essential documents to keep your trip smooth and worry-free with your europe car rental.\n\n- **Vehicle Restrictions:** Luxury and sports cars typically cannot be taken across borders. Please confirm eligibility at pick-up.\n- **Required Documents:** Your SIXT rental agreement with cross-border authorization, valid U.S. driver’s license, passport, and International Driving Permit (if applicable). Your protection options are included in your rental agreement and you can choose the options that fit best your needs.\n- **Border Checks:** Within the European Union, borders are usually open, but random checks occur. Remember to always carry your documents with you.\n- **SIXT Support:** 24/7 roadside assistance and local support are available.

For winter trips or drives through mountainous regions, **check local regulations**, as many destinations **require** **winter tires** or that you **carry snow chains**, and the **Alps** often have specific rules on equipment and seasonal tires. Finally, **confirm with your rental company** what their winter policy is, whether there are extra charges for snow gear, and if there are any regional driving restrictions you should know about before you set off.\n\n[/section]\n\n[section]\n[usp]\n[item src=\"credit_card\"]\n# No hidden fees\nTransparent pricing at every step of the booking process\n[/item]\n\n[item src=\"star\"]\n# Free cancellation\n    Stay flexible and cancel or modify your booking anytime\n[/item]\n\n[item src=\"directions_car\"]\n# Popular Rental Cities\n    Start your journey in Lisbon, Barcelona, Berlin or Amsterdam\n[/item]\n[/usp]\n[/section]\n\n[section theme=\"prime|option\" heading=\"How to book an Europe car rental with SIXT\"]\n[grid]\n[column]\n# Planning & Location\n\n1.
