Outside of Lithuania, vehicles can be driven in Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Poland only. A cross-border fee of 49 EUR (incl. VAT) per border is applied to Poland and Finland, and a fee of 38 EUR (incl. VAT) per border is applied to Latvia and Estonia. In all cases, customers must inform the rental branch of their intention to leave the country with the vehicle and will require an authorisation. Unauthorised cross-border travel will result in a breach of contract and incur a penalty charge.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) reduces the liability of the renter in the event of damage to bodywork, theft or attempted theft of the rental vehicle. If CDW is not included in the reservation, the renter has liability for up to the full market value of the vehicle. If not included in the booking, CDW is an optional coverage available for purchase.

If included in the reservation or purchased, the excess amount varies from 600–1250 EUR depending on the car class. Excess will be charged every time a vehicle is damaged/stolen.

Before purchasing CDW it is advised to determine if personal coverage is adequate to cover damage, theft, loss of revenue, administration fees, diminishment of value and any towing, storage or impound fees. If CDW is declined, the renter will be required to pay these charges and to seek compensation through their carrier of personal coverage. The Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is not insurance.

If you wish to discuss or dispute any matters concerning damage to your rental vehicle, then please contact the rental company using the following email: CUSTOMER.SERVICE@enterprise.lt

All rentals where the vehicle is not returned to the same location as it was collected from will be subject to a one-way fee. The one-way fee varies based on car category, location and pick-up date. The exact amount of the one-way fee will be displayed during the reservation process when entering the dates, desired route and car category.

Customers can choose from the following options on how to pay for fuel:

Option 1 – Prepay fuel
This option allows the renter to pay for the tank of fuel at the time of rental and return the tank empty. No refunds will be issued for unused fuel.

Option 2 – We refill
This option allows the renter to pay at the end of the rental for fuel used but not replaced. The fuel price charged by the branch is 2.50 EUR per litre.

Option 3 – You refill
This option allows the renter to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel as received to avoid extra fuel charges.

Damage to the car will be charged for by the car hire company after it is dropped off and will incur a Damage Administration fee on top of the amount deducted from the excess. All renters and additional drivers must comply with the approved rules and laws. Upon receiving a notice of a traffic offence or any criminal activity, the Lessor will provide all of the details of renter to the police. Violations are subject to an administration fee for each accident or violation received.

Renters are advised to check whether local authorities require foreign drivers to present an International Driving Permit to avoid the risk of potential fines.
