In short
  • Rental: start right away, cars from 500 zł a week.
  • Own car: no rental fee, but servicing and insurance are on you.
  • You get 50% VAT back on fuel and servicing.

01When to rent

If you are just starting, don’t have a car that meets the requirements, or want to try the job without a big outlay. Car rental starts at 500 zł a week, and you can see the current cars and prices in the catalogue right away.

02When to use your own car

If you drive a lot and plan to stay longer. No rental fee, but servicing, tyres and insurance are on you.

03Own car: a 24-hour start too

With your own car you can also start fast. We apply to transfer the licence extract to your car. From the moment the documents are filed at the office you can work on the replacement — with the filing confirmation, the current extract and the old extract’s numbers on the doors. The office issues the new extract within about 3 months.
