Essential Documents for a Quick Pickup
- Your QEEQ Confirmation Voucher
- Have this ready either printed out or on your phone.
- Valid Driver's License
- A standard, valid U.S. driver's license is required. It must be in the Roman alphabet.
- International Driving Permit (IDP)
- While not always strictly enforced by rental agents, an IDP is highly recommended for American drivers in Latvia. It serves as an official translation of your license and can prevent any potential issues during a police traffic stop. You can get one easily from AAA before your trip.
- Your Passport
- This is your primary form of photo identification.
- Credit Card
- You must present a major credit card in the main driver's name. This will be used for the security deposit. Please note that debit cards are generally not accepted for the deposit hold.
Tip
Being prepared is the key to a fast and easy pickup. Have your documents organized and ready to present to the agent at the counter.
From Keys to Wheels: Finding Your Vehicle
Walk to Your Car
Exit the terminal, cross the road at the designated crosswalk, and follow the signs for P1. The rental agent will have given you the specific floor and bay number.
Inspect Before You Drive
Walk around the car and look for any pre-existing damage. Check the interior for stains or tears. Use your smartphone to take photos and a short video of the car's condition.
Important
If you notice any damage not marked on your rental agreement, go back to the desk and have an agent document it before you leave. This simple step can save you from any potential disputes upon return.
