Car hire - simple, easy, and affordable prices
Bookingauto (Bratislava) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Bratislava can always collect them from the most suitable place.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Bratislava on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible BMW 4 Cabrio from us, starting at €80 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Bratislava. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan VW Transporter might be best - from €64 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like Nissan Maxima for €75 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Focus for just €15 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

Car rental cost by month
During the high season in summer, car rental in Bratislava costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Toyota Corolla popular in Bratislava costs €14 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €11 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a BMW 4 Cabrio is offered at €80 per day.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Bratislava is the Ford Focus. The rental price for such a car starts from €15 per day from sixt.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a Nissan Maxima will cost about €75 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Kia Sportage at this time can be rented for just €31 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Bratislava, you can easily rent a Mercedes S-class coupe to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.

The booking can be cancelled with a full refund at least 24 hours in advance (in some cases, 48 hours may be needed).
If cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice (or 48 hours in some cases), the administration fee will be deducted from the online payment amount but the rest of the money will be returned to your bank account.
Each vendor has a different cancellation policy and administration fee for different cars. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read the cancellation policy before booking.

If the online payment sum is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.
If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: To cancel a booking, please go to the “Manage My Booking” section – do not contact the rent-a-car company directly.

Popular questions about car rental in Bratislava
Answer: The cost of renting a car in Bratislava is usually made up of unlimited mileage, car damage insurance (CDW), and VAT. Some additional services that can be added are insurance against theft, inclusion of a child seat, and admission for a second driver to use the car. As a rule, the client picks up the car with a full tank of fuel. You must fill it up on its return. In the rental conditions of the selected car, you can find a full list of services that are included in the rental price. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read all of the important information before booking.
Answer: You can pick up a car in Bratislava and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this. When booking, find the option "Return in another location" in the search form and indicate the city in which you will return the car. However, this option is not available for all cars. The system will return eligible options to you in the search results. The indicated rental price in this case already includes an additional fee for returning the car in another city. In some circumstances, the need to return a car in another city may arise after the lease has been issued, i.e. during the use of the vehicle. In this case, you need to call the rental company directly at the phone number indicated on the voucher to come to an agreement and discuss the terms of the surcharge.
