Good to know
Age requirements vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Poland may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
If you're bringing the kids along, check if you should add a car seat to your Gdansk car rental booking. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.
You'll need some documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.
Driving in Poland might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.
Keep within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
In Poland, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.02%. If you think you'll be drinking, get someone else to do the driving or take another form of transport.
Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The Polish złoty (PLN) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and activities. Pay with a debit or credit card when it's convenient, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't accepted.
