Car Rental Groups Explained

You probably know that when you book a car with any car hire company you generally don’t book a specific model. Same applies fro IzziRent.com price comparison site.

 By international standards the IzziRent.com car reservation system enables reservation of a vehicle group, not a specific vehicle brand. When you are choosing a vehicle in our reservation system, each vehicle type is marked by the “or similar” designation, meaning that you will receive a vehicle from the group that you have selected.
Whenever you are looking and booking car rental online with IzziRent.com you will always see 4 letter codes in car offers, that can tell you a lot if you know the designations of every letter.

Documents You Need For Car Rental

We get many questions on chat and email regarding required documents you need for  successful car rental. 

Although rental information is available with every single offer, looks like many of you don't read the terms and conditions of rental.



It is important that you are able to present all mandatory documents. In the opposite event supplier has the right to decline you rental and your down payment or even full prepayment will not be refundable in this case.

Every client that rents a car on our site must present to supplier:

  • Passport or ID 
  • Driving license 
  • international driving license ( depending on the residency of driver and car rental country) - in case your national driving license is not in Roman letters, you have to present it always
  • valid credit card on driver name with enough funds - many suppliers block insurance excess amount for the time of rental period and release it back after the rental is over.
Sometimes if you are booking premium, luxury car groups you might be obliged to present even Two credit cards - which is always clearly noted in terms
Voucher of your car rental booking which you obtain after the confirmation to your email.
