  • Snap up the best price on a Skulte car hire by booking in advance. You're more likely to get the best value with the most choice.

  • Know the terms when it comes to the coverage on your Skulte car hire. A collision damage waiver (CDW) might be included in the deal or cost extra, depending on the company.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to score a bargain if the provider needs to move its fleet around. Discover the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No surprise fuel add-ons when you hand back the keys either.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers the cost you'd have to pay if your Skulte car hire is stolen or damaged. While not compulsory, it can be a real lifesaver if something goes wrong. Keep in mind that policies differ from one provider to another, so make sure you know exactly what's included.

  • Upgrade your ride with handy extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera. These add-ons can make your drive more efficient and enjoyable when you rent a car in Skulte.

Good to know

  • Check each provider's age requirements before booking your car hire in Latvia. Rules can vary, and some restrictions or fees may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, simply uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to browse your options.

  • Travel plans include the kids? Car seat regulations vary from one place to another, and the right setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Skulte car hire reservation.

  • Come prepared to avoid delays at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) and a second photo ID. Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.

  • If you've never driven in Latvia, keep in mind that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph (30mph) in urban areas and around 100kph (65mph) on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Latvia is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
