Lithuania Car rental or buying?
Posted: Sat June 6, 2009 08:02 PM UTC
Hi. I am going to meet a friend in Vilnius in September time and do a Scandinavian tour with them. I can't find any rental companies that do one-way rent a car deals to the Latvian border. So I though of buying a cheap car there and using that for the whole - or some of - the trip. Would this be nearly impossible, a long process or what? I am an EU citizen.

I would not recommend it.

Even that car should be cheap now, you will have to invest lots of time choosing one (unless you are an expert it is difficult to uncover hidden faults and problems). Then you have to register the car (all forms in Lithuanian!). Insurance, technical check up etc. You will waste lots of time and without guarantee that your car even will survive the trip to the Latvia without repairs....

Hmm yes, very true. If you are based in Lithuania, do you know of a local car hire company that would allow one way usage? Like Rent in Vilnius and drop off in Kaunas (or preferably nearer Latvian border)? In Turkey you can get good cars for €25 per day every day, are these sort of prices available there too? Thank in advance.

Hi,

the best way is to rent. All international car rental companies has branches here... there are no problems to rent a car in Vilnius and leave it whereever you want in EU cities (Riga, Tallinn, Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen or Oslo), or other places where rental branches are located, just check any of those Avis, Hertz or any other companies websites... Prices depends on a car class, etc.
Have a nice trip!
