Welcome to Poland: A Country of Rich Culture, History, and Stunning Landscapes!

Poland is a vibrant blend of history, tradition, and breathtaking natural beauty. From the historic streets of Kraków to the modern charm of Warsaw, and the serene landscapes of the Tatra Mountains, Poland offers a unique experience for every traveler. Whether you’re exploring the charming Old Towns, strolling along the Baltic Sea coastline, or tasting the local cuisine like pierogi and żurek, Poland is a treasure trove of discoveries.


Arriving in Poland is straightforward, with major international airports such as Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW), Kraków John Paul II Airport (KRK), and Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (GDN), offering flights from across the globe. Car hire services at these airports make it easy for you to start your adventure upon arrival. Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore Poland's historic cities, pristine lakes, and picturesque villages at your own pace.


By booking your car rental in advance, you’ll ensure a hassle-free pickup experience, allowing you to dive right into Poland's cultural landmarks, lush national parks, and charming countryside.

Driving in Poland

Poland is a land of contrasts, offering a mix of modern cities and untouched nature. Begin your journey in Warsaw, the capital, where you’ll find historic sites like the Royal Castle and Łazienki Park alongside contemporary architecture. Drive south to Kraków, a city steeped in history, where you can explore Wawel Castle, St. Mary’s Basilica, and the historic Kazimierz district.


For nature lovers, head to Zakopane, the gateway to the Tatra Mountains, known for its stunning hiking trails and winter sports. Drive through the Masurian Lake District to experience one of Europe’s most beautiful natural settings, perfect for boating and outdoor activities. If you’re interested in history, visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, a sobering reminder of the past, and Malbork Castle, the largest castle in the world by land area.


Driving in Poland is generally safe, with well-maintained roads and clear signage. Motorways (marked with an “A”) and expressways (marked with an “S”) make travel between major cities convenient. Poland follows right-hand driving, and toll roads are common, so be prepared to pay using cash or card at toll booths. In city centers like Warsaw and Kraków, parking can be limited, so use designated parking areas or garages.

*Hassle-Free Desk: The dreaded moment when the rental company hits you with upsells, extra inspections, or credit card dramas—turning what should be a quick pick-up into a drawn-out negotiation.

Third-Party Protection: What you need to know
Some companies might call it 'Full Protection' or 'Premium Protection', but we're here to tell you the facts.
Third-party protection does cover you fully against damage costs, just like our best product. However, the rental desk experience? That's still going to be the same as if you'd picked the basic option.
What is Third-Party Protection?It's an independent coverage that protects you from damage costs the rental company could charge. It works well but doesn't change how things go down at the rental desk.If you're interested in third-party protection, Rental Cover is our preferred partner. You can learn more or purchase coverage directly by visiting their website.
Check them out
What is expected at the Rental Desk:Even with third-party protection, you'll still face the usual desk drama—deposits, credit card holds, and those upsell attempts. While you're financially protected, the hassle at the desk doesn't go away.We believe in keeping things clear: while third-party protection covers you well, the customer experience remains basic.
View Protection Products
The Role of the Car Rental Company:Rental companies insure their cars, and they need you to either buy their protection or leave a deposit. Third-party protection takes care of the financial risks, but the rental company still holds the cards at pick-up.Want to avoid the hassle entirely? Read more about our Best Protection, which keeps both your wallet and your rental process smooth.
