What People Are Saying:

I was worried at first... You read the occasional horror stories of getting into accidents or worse... but I did the Tripiamo guide and it worked for me. After I did it a few times my mind just made the adjustment, so I totally recommend using it. It put me at ease.

Robert F.

I got a $42 service fee from my rental company, just for sending me a ticket in the mail after my trip to France. That didn't even include the price of the ticket! Pretty sure Tripiamo would have saved me money and the aggravation.

Miguel F.

Just want to say that, if you are an American thinking of renting a car and driving, the Tripiamo website was well worth the $$. Definitely helped and made me more comfortable.

Anonymous Customer

I wish I had something like this before the first few times I rented cars in Europe.

Sean

Tripiamo's guide is super helpful and thorough including all the information we wanted. It's spot on.
