Survey
The most expensive car rental destinations in Europe
August 2, 2018
Oslo and Reykjavik have been found to be two of the most expensive European destinations for car rentals, according to a new survey.
The survey by CheapCarRental.net looked into prices across 40 destinations during the month of August. Each destination’s main airport was assigned as the pick-up and drop-off point.
Coming top of the rankings was Oslo, where you will need to spend an average of €384 for a week’s car rental (the equivalent of 6 days) for the cheapest car available. In the capital of Iceland, prices are not much cheaper at €345 per week.
The following table shows the 20 priciest destinations in Europe for car rentals this summer. The rates displayed reflect the average weekly rate for the cheapest available rental car in each destination between 1-31 August 2017.
About the Survey:
For 40 European destinations, the rate for the cheapest available car was established for the following periods: August 4-10, 11-17, 18-24 and 25-31. We then calculated the average weekly rental price, resulting in the rankings above. Rates were established in late July using a leading online car rental price comparison engine. For the purpose of our searches, we allocated each city’s main airport as the pick-up and drop-off point.
