While most of the cheapest cars for hire in Cincinnati are stick shift, if you aren't comfortable driving a manual you'll be pleased to know that we make it easy to browse local cars that are available to hire and display nothing but automatic vehicles available to hire. Manual transmission vehicles are common in many locations around the world, and that's why booking a stick-shift car will often save you money (because they're more readily available), but with that said if you decide you need (or would like) an automatic car our experienced reservation team will gladly assist you. Auto Europe allows you the choice of filtering car hire inventory in Cincinnati by type of transmission to quickly find your preferred standard or automatic transmission sedan in your preferred vehicle size. You can even filter the results to only show automatic vehicles from your preferred local company like Hertz, Avis, or Europcar. It'll be simple to finalise your automatic or standard transmission vehicle hire after this ... just finalise your reservation details, add some insurance coverage for peace of mind, and finish your booking.
A Few Reasons to Opt For an Automatic Transmission Car Hire in Cincinnati
Reasons to Love Manual Transmission Car Hire in Cincinnati
You aren't the only one if you are searching numerous travel and discount websites to discover the ideal rate on your next vehicle hire in Cincinnati. But not all quoted car hire daily prices are the same. Don't be duped by car hire agencies online that display uncharacteristically low daily prices. These companies are usually not including mandatory fees and taxes which are owed by law in Cincinnati. You'll be obligated to pay these fees at the pick-up counter, and ultimately may pay more than the inclusive rate displayed on our website.
When you wish to see the actual daily rate of your Cincinnati car hire, search Auto Europe and discover the clear, no-nonsense pricing you won't find on other car hire sites. We've learned that smart travellers like to know the full cost of their vehicle hire when they book. To make things easier, we have covered several common surcharges which quite a few customers traveling to Cincinnati might not be familiar with. The often seen types of industry fees outlined below are a great starting point to ensure that you are educated when reserving an auto hire in Cincinnati.

Not everyone wants to hire a car for a round-trip itinerary. If you'd like to start your trip with a car hire in Cincinnati and plan to end your vacation in another location, no problem! Auto Europe specialises in arranging this type of car hire. You should know, however, that the cost of transporting vehicles incurs a "Drop Fee" or "One Way" fee which you will be required to pay. The cost of this charge will vary depending upon your itinerary, but can be significant - especially if you're traveling across international borders. We know creative ways to reduce this cost, so contact a specialist by phone today for help with your one way car hire in Cincinnati.

If you've reserved extra equipment with your car hire (like child seats, GPS, ski-racks or snow chains), then you will be charged an additional Processing Fee or Administration Fee for this equipment (unless your online quote states that these costs are included in the total displayed price). Some destinations have specific requirements for traveling with children (who must be restrained in a properly-sized child seat or booster seat), so it's important to check the specific requirements in Cincinnati to see if some of these optional car hire equipment items will be needed for your trip.

For about €20 - €50 in most locations you can drive your vehicle across international borders. This international travel fee (often referenced as a Cross Border Fee on your car hire contract) covers the permitting and tax cost of making sure your car hire has all of the appropriate stickers to drive across borders (and come back). International one-way charges (where you pick up your car hire in Cincinnati and drop it off in a neighboring nation) will be significantly more, so if your itinerary allows you to return to Cincinnati to drop off your car hire you can save a significant amount of money.

Often labeled as an Administration Fee, or Processing Fee, extra insurance charges are something you'll see after your car hire to cover the cost of paperwork related to a theft or damage claim on your vehicle. These fees are not related to the actual cost of insurance coverage for your vehicle, rather to cover the cost of resolving an insurance claim related to your vehicle hire. These fees will typically fall in the €30 - €50 range.

It may seem ridiculous to be charged a "driver fee" for a vehicle that you hire specifically to drive, but driver fees (often referenced as an Additional Driver Fee, Young Driver Surcharge, or Senior Driver Fee) apply an extra daily fee to the total cost of your car hire based on who will be driving the car. Many car hire companies charge a fee for drivers under the age of 25 or over the age of 65, and you can expect to pay extra if you plan to have more than one person driving your car hire in Cincinnati during your trip. These fees can be €5 all the way to €20 per day, depending upon the unique circumstances of your vehicle hire.
