Answers to popular questions

When it comes to car rental costs, Awassa is generally competitive. The price normally depends on several factors, including the time of year, the length of your trip, and the sort of vehicle you wish to rent.
There is always an increase in demand for automobile rentals in Awassa during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Awassa.

There are several insurance tiers available. The various insurance categories in Awassa are described as follows:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - It restricts the customer's liability throughout the rental period and establishes the maximum sum that the customer will be required to pay in the event of damages.
  • Theft Protection (TP) - If your automobile is stolen, this waiver reduces your liability to the vehicle's deductible/excess amount (proof required are a police report and the car keys). TP is typically included in the cost of renting a car.
  • Third Party Liability (TPL) - often referred to as Supplemental Liability Insurance, Extended Protection, Liability Protection, etc., covers both material and intangible losses caused to other people's vehicles, property, and even medical costs.

Unlimited third-party liability insurance is required in Awassa and is automatically bundled into the cost of all car rentals. Don't forget to carry evidence of insurance if you are traveling with your own vehicle.

Traveling by car lets you explore at your own pace. It's nice to be able to avoid congested bus or rail schedules and travel early or late.

Choose a car based on what you want to do on your trip. Small cars like the VW Polo or Ford Ka can be used to get around the city and its surroundings.
The Toyota Camry is the most popular car in the Standard category. Its starting price is 21$ per day from EAST COAST, and its rating average is 9 based on more than 1000 customer reviews. Opel Mokka from EUROPCAR is the most reasonably priced rental vehicle in Awassa. Just 23$ per day is the cost.
Most of the rental cars in Awassa are manual. Automatic cars cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The most likely model is displayed on both the search result page and on your voucher. Despite this, the automobile class is always reserved at all rental car firms because doing so is required by international rules regulating car rentals. When you get to the office, you'll be given the opportunity to select the make and model of the car you want to drive. The following is an explanation of the many classifications of cars:

Car rental models

On the other hand, there are some circumstances in which you will be able to reserve a specific model. In the event that such a feature can be selected, a distinct notation will be displayed next to the automobile in the list of search results.

When you pick up the vehicle, the same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement. There are two card kinds we accept:

  • We will accept a credit card as a guarantee.
  • We will accept a debit card if purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental period.

Rent a car without a deposit

Just bear in mind that the cardholder/renter and any additional drivers must sign the rental agreement in person at the time of pick-up.
