The lead deal on this page is the up to 50% off weekend car hire in Hungary at the top of the page, best for short Thursday to Monday trips in Hungary and for renters using one of the eligible vehicle groups (CDMR, CDAR, IDAR, IGAR or SDAR). It applies to 2 to 3 day rentals collected between 1 August and 31 December 2026 and booked by 30 December 2026. If your trip fits that window, it is likely the biggest single saving available to you.
Longer European rentals, 3 to 28 days: If you need a hire of three days or more, check the France offer first. The up to 20% off in France requires rentals of 3 to 28 days and applies at listed corporate locations when you book and pick up by 31 December 2026. For a €300, 7 day France booking, 20% off yields a final price of €240, a saving of €60.
Italy trips and bookings through the website: The Italy sale offers up to 20% off for hires in Italy (website only), with pickups through 24 March 2027 when you book by 18 December 2026. For a €300 Italy rental, 20% off takes you to €240, saving €60. Use the Italy deal for Italian pickups where availability is good.
Country specific short stays: Spain, Portugal, Poland and the UK: For Spain and Portugal, 15% off applies across all vehicle categories through 27 March 2027 when booked by 15 November 2026; for Poland the autumn 15% applies when booked and picked up by 30 November 2026. The UK deal gives 10% off when booked and picked up by 31 December 2026 and excluding recommended extras. Choose the country offer that matches your pickup location.
Weekend Hungary rentals of 2 to 3 days: The top page offer is for this precise case and can be as high as 50% off. For example, on a €200, 2 day Hungary booking in an eligible category, 50% off reduces the price to €100, a saving of €100. That will beat a 20% app or country discount for the same rental.
Students and app users: If you are a student, the student discount gives up to 20% off where that scheme applies and may be the right call for non Hungarian rentals. The app offer runs 6 to 9 November 2026 and offers up to 20% off when you book in the Europcar app. Use the app window for short bookings made on those dates.
