Business car rental: what travellers need to know

For people travelling on business, time is the most valuable resource. A meeting with a client, a site visit or a conference in Bucharest leaves no room for delays caused by taxis that don’t show up or badly organised transfers. That is why more and more business travellers choose to rent a car straight from the airport. In this article you will find everything you need to know about business car rental: the advantages, company invoicing, choosing the car, flexibility and some practical tips for a stress-free business trip.

Why a rental car instead of a taxi

For a single ride from the airport to the hotel, a taxi may seem enough. But a business day usually means several journeys: hotel, office, client, restaurant, back to the hotel, then the airport. Each ride means waiting time, variable costs and receipts to collect for your expense claim. With a rental car you have a fixed daily cost, a single invoice and the freedom to organise your schedule as you wish, including meetings outside the city, in industrial areas or logistics parks that are hard to reach by public transport.

Pick-up straight from the airport

Most business trips start with a flight. At Skycar we wait for you right at Henri Coandă Airport, check the documents, you sign the contract and you leave for your first meeting within minutes. If your flight is delayed, we follow your arrival. All the details about pick-up at the terminal are on our car rental Otopeni without deposit page.

Company invoicing

If you are renting for a company, in addition to the driver’s documents we need the company’s billing details: name, tax ID and address. The invoice is issued to the company, which simplifies expense claims and accounting. Give us these details when we confirm the booking so we can prepare the documents in advance. For companies that need cars frequently, we can also discuss terms for repeat business.

No deposit: simpler for expense claims

One of the biggest headaches with business rentals is the deposit blocked on the company card or, worse, on the employee’s personal card. The blocked amount can remain for several days after return and complicates expense reconciliation. With the no-deposit option you pay the rental and a small daily supplement, and that’s it. You don’t need a credit card, and payment is made at pick-up.

Which car to choose for a business trip

• For one employee driving around the city: a compact, economical car that is easy to park.
• For teams of 3–4 people: a roomier car with enough boot space for equipment or samples.
• For long drives between cities: a comfortable car with low fuel consumption and, ideally, an automatic gearbox.
• For meetings with important clients: a clean, modern and elegant car makes a good impression.

You will find all available cars, with daily prices, in the Skycar fleet.

Several drivers on the same car

On business trips, several colleagues often drive the same car. It is important that all drivers are listed in the contract. Each must be at least 21, hold a driving licence for at least one year and have a valid identity document. That way the insurance is valid whoever is behind the wheel.

Flexibility when plans change

Business schedules change often: a meeting runs over, a flight is rescheduled, the project lasts a few more days. At Skycar you can extend your rental by letting us know in advance, and cancellation is free. If you want to return the car at a different location from the pick-up — for example, pick up at the airport and return in the city — tell us from the start and we will organise everything.

Long-term rentals for projects

For projects lasting several weeks or months, long-term rental is often the best solution. Long-term discounts are applied automatically, and for rentals longer than 21 days prices start from 15 EUR/day. For periods longer than a month, call us for a tailored offer.

Practical tips for business travellers

• Book as soon as you have your plane ticket, especially in weeks with trade fairs and conferences in Bucharest.
• Enter your flight number when booking so we can follow your arrival.
• Keep the contract and invoice together with your other travel documents.
• Check parking at the hotel and at the client’s location before you set off.
• Avoid rush hour on the DN1 if you have an important morning meeting; leave early.
• Return the car with the same fuel level to avoid extra costs on your expense claim.
