The less time left before the start of the rental, the higher the cost of the rental becomes. The optimal period for booking in rental companies is 6 weeks before receiving the car. If you book early, two days before receiving the car, you can cancel the order without any penalties.

Which car to choose

Choose a car according to the purpose of your trip. You can drive around the city and its surroundings in a compact car Fiat 500 or Opel Astra. These models are the most popular with our customers in Gwangju Airport.

Opel Astra Estate will cost €31 per day. By the way, before leaving, do not forget to refuel with a margin. On the rises, the fuel goes one and a half to two times more. Gas stations in mountain villages are rare.

What you need to pay attention to when receiving a car

A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.
