  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Lodz car hire policy, whether with Express or a different supplier. Some companies offer it as a paid extra instead of including it.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire can be your secret weapon for cheaper deals. Simply select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles between branches, which means you can bag some fantastic one-way prices on a car for rent in Lodz.

  • Polish is the language you'll most often encounter in this country.
