Riga car rental — FAQ

It is wise to book your Riga rental car 2-4 weeks before arrival, especially for summer, Christmas and major events when demand spikes. Early booking usually secures better prices, a wider choice of vehicles and options like automatics or child seats. Last-minute rentals are possible, but key categories may be sold out or more expensive.
Most Riga car rental companies release the security deposit within 7-14 business days after you return the vehicle, provided there is no new damage, fines or missing fuel. Your bank may then take additional time to show the funds as available. To avoid blocking a deposit altogether, check our no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when comparing offers.
The excess (deductible) is the maximum amount you pay if the rental car is damaged or stolen. In Latvia, it commonly ranges from about EUR 600 to 1,500 depending on vehicle class and supplier. If a covered incident happens, you pay only up to that limit. Many renters choose extra insurance or super-CDW to reduce or even eliminate the excess.
Most Riga rental desks require a credit card in the main driver's name to secure the deposit. Some local and broker partners may accept debit cards or cash, often with extra checks or insurance. To reduce card requirements and blocked amounts, look for our special no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when searching in Riga.
In Riga, a small economy car typically costs around EUR 25-40 per day outside peak season, while larger or automatic models are more. Prices can rise in summer or for last-minute bookings. The final rate depends on rental length, mileage policy, insurance options, and extras like GPS, child seats or additional drivers.
At Riga International Airport (RIX), you will find well-known international and local car hire brands including Hertz, National, Sixt, Enterprise, Avis, NP Car, Car, Apex motors and EASYCARS, offering a range of vehicles from budget-friendly compacts to larger family cars and SUVs for city or longer-distance travel.
Bookingcar lets you compare many Riga suppliers in one search, helping you quickly spot the best price, fuel policy and insurance conditions. You can see verified customer ratings, clear rental rules and inclusive mileage details before confirming. Our platform offers multilingual support, secure online payment and regular promotions tailored to popular Latvian routes.
If you return your Riga rental car later than agreed, most companies charge an extra hourly or full-day rate, sometimes at a higher tariff. This may also affect insurance coverage. As soon as you know you will be late, contact the rental company to extend the contract and limit penalties or potential breach of rental terms.
In central Riga, good options include EuroPark zones near Old Town, the underground parking at Galerija Centrs, Origo and Alfa shopping centres, plus paid street zones A, B and C managed by Riga City Council. These car parks use pay-and-display machines or mobile apps, and clearly marked tariffs depending on the centrality of the area.
Many Riga rental companies allow travel to neighbouring countries like Estonia and Lithuania, sometimes also Poland or Scandinavia, but you must request cross-border permission when booking. The supplier may charge an additional fee and restrict certain high-risk destinations. Always carry your rental agreement, ID and insurance documents when crossing any border from Latvia.
Typical speed limits in Latvia are:
  • Built-up areas: 50 km/h
  • Outside built-up areas (rural roads): 90 km/h
  • Dual carriageways and main roads: usually 90 km/h, sometimes 100 km/h where signed
  • Residential zones and courtyards: 20 km/h unless otherwise indicated
Always follow local signs, as temporary or lower limits may apply in roadworks or specific sections.

"I arrived late in Riga but the National desk was still open and very welcoming. The car was spotless, fuel-efficient and ideal for city and Jurmala drives. Return was quick, price transparent, and I appreciated the clear explanations in excellent English."

"I travelled with a friend and booked through Enterprise in Riga. The staff were friendly and upgraded us to a roomier car, great for our road trip. Only small downside was a short wait at pick-up, but overall the car, price and simple return process were excellent."
