(International) one way car rental
With the one way car rental option that Alamo.nl offers, you are more flexible and can enjoy more freedom. A one-way rental means you return the rental car to a different location than where you picked it up. Want to pick up your rental car at the airport and return it downtown? With Alamo.nl, that’s possible. You can also choose to drop off the car in another city — or in some cases, even in a different country.
One way car rental
In most cases, an additional fee applies for a one-way rental. These so-called drop-off fees vary by location. If drop-off fees apply to your reservation, they will be shown when you request a quote, and also listed on your invoice and voucher. Drop-off fees must always be paid on location and do include any local taxes.
One way car rental in Europe
In most European countries it is allowed to return the rental car in another location. The cost varies from country to country. Sometimes there’s a surcharge for rentals shorter than one week, while longer one-way rentals may even be free of charge. When you request a quote, any drop-off charges will be shown under the car rental rate. You can even do a one-way between different countries, so you can combine several countries in one trip. Within the Balkans, you may often cross borders, and international one-ways are also popular there. These one-ways between Croatia, Northern Macedonia, or Albania, for example, are available on request. An international one-way between Denmark, Sweden, and Norway is also possible if you request it in advance. Feel free to contact our customer service and our staff will be happy to help you.
One ways USA
The United States and Canada have some rules and exceptions regarding one-way car rentals. For example, if you want to pick up your rental car at one location and return it at another? Then it is good to know that you cannot book an Economy car. One-way car rental does not apply to Economy cars. Within Florida or California, drop-off fees are often waived. Also, between San Francisco Airport and Los Angeles or Las Vegas Airport (and vice versa), you don’t always have to pay drop-off fees.
One way between the USA and Canada
Through Alamo.nl it is usually possible to pick up your rental car in the U.S. and return it in Canada, or vice versa. There are some restrictions to this. There are a limited number of car types eligible and there is limited availability, so these reservations are almost always on request. A popular one way route is Seattle – Vancouver, but also Toronto Airport – Buffalo Airport and New York – Canada are also in high demand. Are you unsure if there are drop-off charges or how much they are? Feel free to contact our customer service team.
