Europcar car rental at Addis Ababa Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (takes the stress out of changing gears) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most rental companies have both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to find your preferred option.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You drive away with a full tank and bring it back full, so you only pay for the fuel you use.
Mileage limits: Select 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter so you can roam wherever the road takes you without added mileage charges.
Side of the road: Don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Ethiopia.
Speed limits: Local speed limits are usually about 45kph in built-up areas and around 95kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.
Required documents: You'll need a valid driver's licence and extra photo ID when collecting your Europcar car rental. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
Deposits and credit card: Providers commonly place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card for the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted at pickup, so it's a good idea to carry a credit card.
