Tips for renting at Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport (WAW)
Before you rent:
Make an informed choice. We believe in providing you with options to choose the right car for your needs with complete price transparency. At U-Save, we prioritize your peace of mind, which means rental insurance with us is not overly complicated and you are assured you are properly insured.
When you collect your Vehicle:
Think ahead. It's a good idea to map out your trip in advance, especially if you're returning the rental car to an unfamiliar location or airport. Check your confirmation email to make sure you know where to meet your agent or where the rental desk, and save the contact details to your phone for quick access.
Bring the necessary documents. While we strive to make the check-in process as simple as possible, some information is required by law. Having your reservation information, driver's license, passport and credit card ready in advance can speed up your reservation process. If you choose to self-insure, make sure that you have verifiable proof of full coverage insurance at the time of rental pickup. If you are a local renter, make sure that you have all the information required by the location to confirm your ID and address.
Conduct a car inspection. Perform a detailed walk around inspection as soon as the vehicle is received to note any existing damage on the rental agreement. The five damage hotspots that we've discovered deserve special attention. You are shielded from responsibility when you return the vehicle by disclosing any existing damage prior to leaving the location.
While you rent:
Take care. Please be advised that depending on the rental coverage you chose, you could be responsible for any damage that occurs during the rental period. Take measures to reduce the possibility of collisions leading to dings and scratches, especially in congested parking areas.
When you return your vehicle:
Complete one more vehicle inspection. Conduct a second inspection during the return procedure, and no matter how little it may look, carefully record any damage. This approach enables us to handle your refund quickly while making sure you are completely insured. The five damage hotspots should receive special attention, just as they did during the initial assessment.

The car was practically brand new, great condition and easy to drive. Made our first time hiring a car abroad a smooth and easy process. I cannot remember the name of the gentleman that helped us on the desk but he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you so much again for making our trip even more enjoyable :)

Car hire in Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport – Good to know about driving in there
Renting a car in Warsaw is an excellent idea if you plan to explore not only the city itself, but also nearby regions such as Kraków, Łódź, or the Masurian Lake District. The drive into the city is smooth via Żwirki i Wigury Avenue, typically taking around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.
Once you've landed at Warsaw Chopin Airport and picked up your rental car, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey. For first-time visitors, take a few moments to familiarize yourself with your vehicle, Poland’s traffic regulations, and preferred navigation tools such as Google Maps or Waze.
In Poland, driving is on the right-hand side, and seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers. A valid driver’s license is required, and if you’re visiting from outside the EU, an International Driving Permit (IDP) may be necessary. All rental vehicles must carry a warning triangle, reflective vest, and first aid kit.
Warsaw’s road system is modern, but traffic congestion is common during weekday rush hours. The A2, A1, and A4 highways are tolled, so be prepared with cash, card, or a toll transponder. Speed cameras are widely used across the country.
Parking in central Warsaw is paid and regulated. Look for blue zone markings and consider using apps to pay for parking. Parking in unauthorized zones can result in fines or towing.
Winter driving can present challenges, especially outside cities. Our rental cars are typically equipped with winter tires during the colder months. Be cautious of black ice, especially in shaded rural areas.
If you require assistance during your stay, don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. In case of emergency, dial 112 for all services.
Enjoy your drive and take advantage of Poland’s scenic landscapes, historical cities, and welcoming culture!
Warsaw is a city where history meets modernity. Start at the meticulously rebuilt Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, then visit Łazienki Park, home to peacocks and Chopin monuments. The Warsaw Uprising Museum offers powerful insights into the city’s WWII history. If you’re into architecture and skyline views, head to the Palace of Culture and Science, the tallest building in Poland. For shopping and dining, explore the Nowy Świat and Złote Tarasy Mall. Those with a car can take a day trip to Wilanów Palace, the “Polish Versailles,” or even venture out to Kampinos National Park just outside the city.
