How to find National at Riga International Airport
Picking up your National car rental at Riga International Airport can be done in a few different ways. Collection may be at the airport, through a meet-and-greet with staff on arrival, or by shuttle to the rental area. Make use of the 'Pickup' filter as you search to discover the available options at the airport.
Airport terminal: Pick up your ride right where you land. Counters are inside or next to the arrival terminal, so you can quickly go from baggage claim to the driver's seat.
Free shuttle bus: The rental office isn't in the terminal area. Instead, a free shuttle takes you to a nearby site where the car is waiting to be collected.
Meet and greet: Not long after you touch down, a member of staff will meet you at the terminal. They'll hand over the keys and paperwork before directing you to your car.
Want to spend less time waiting and more time driving? Some providers offer self-service pickup, so you can collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox instead of waiting at the rental counter.
National car rental at Riga International Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (takes care of the gear changes for you) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most car rental providers have both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to find the one you prefer.
Fuel policy: Avoid extra costs by booking a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You drive away with a full tank and return it full, meaning you only pay for fuel you've used.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' let you cover more ground without worrying about added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like.
Side of the road: Traffic in Latvia sticks to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Local speed limits may vary, but it's normally around 45kph in urban areas and 100kph or so on highways. Always follow the posted signs.
Required documents: When collecting your National car rental, you'll typically need your physical driver's licence and a second photo ID. If anything else is expected, it'll be listed in your booking.
Deposits and credit card: Providers often place a temporary hold on a credit card for the security deposit. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so it's best to have credit available.
Insurance: Excess insurance isn't required, but can be a real lifesaver if something goes wrong. Policies differ from one provider to another, so check before you book.
Add ons: Handy extras like mobile Wi-Fi or a reverse camera can make your National car rental easier and more enjoyable.
