Prices and availability for Kaunas come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Kaunas sits where the Neris meets the Nemunas, with a compact old town and a long pedestrian avenue that you will walk rather than drive. The car is for the country around it: the A1 motorway runs straight to Vilnius one way and Klaipeda and the coast the other, and quieter roads lead to Trakai castle, the Nemunas valley manors and the lake districts. Ryanair and other low-cost airlines land at Kaunas, so this is many travellers' first stop in Lithuania. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Kaunas: common questions
Should I pick up at Kaunas airport or in town?
If you are flying into Kaunas and heading straight out to the coast or the lakes, collect at the airport, it is a short drive north of the city with easy access to the motorway. If you are spending a few days in Kaunas first, stay car-free and pick up in the city when you leave.
How is driving between Kaunas, Vilnius and the coast?
Easy. The A1 is a proper dual carriageway the whole way from Vilnius through Kaunas to Klaipeda, well signed and rarely busy. Off the motorway, roads are two-lane and quiet, with gravel on some village routes. In winter expect snow and short daylight, so plan longer drives for the middle of the day.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Kaunas, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
