- A driver's license and identification (passport or residence card) are required. An 'International Driving Permit(IDP)', which is a license that allows you to drive in a country other than the country where you own the driver's license, is also recognized. For IDP holders, a 'passport' or 'passport information certificate' to prove the date of entry is required. You must bring the original IDP when picking up the vehicle. Copies, PDFs, or photos of the IDP cannot be used. The vehicles that can be used vary depending on the IDP level. For grade B, you are allowed to drive up to a nine-seater vehicle and grade D, you are allowed to drive up to a twelve-seater vehicle.
- From February 2022, Taiwan International Driving Permit is accepted.
- European Union International Driving Permit is not accepted.
- It is not possible. Payment can only be made by credit or debit card. If you don't have a card, you can purchase a Wow Pass card near Seoul Station.
- English GPS is installed. You can search by address, phone number, or postcode. If you want to save it, you can save the destination to GPS when searching for it.
- Compact and standard vehicles can generally seat 4 people and carry 2 large and 1 small piece of luggage. The SUV can seat 5 people and carry 3 large pieces of luggage and 1 small piece of luggage. A van can typically seat 6 people and carry 3 large pieces of luggage and 1 small piece of luggage. As each vehicle is different, please refer to the car class on the LOTTE rent-a-car website.
- Purchase a Hi-Pass card and pay. You can purchase it when renting a car at a LOTTE rent-a-car branch. It can also be purchased at convenience stores and highway rest areas. For cards purchased at a branch, 30,000 won is charged, and the price of the charged card is 35,000 won. There will be no refund if you return the card. You can pay in cash at the tollgate, but there are often unmanned tollgates, so you need to check. Tollgate toll fees can be found through GPS.
- We are conducting a free charging promotion for all foreign customers who rent electric vehicles at LOTTE rent-a-car branches at Jeju Auto House, Seoul Station, Incheon International Airport, Busan Station, Haeundae, and Gimhae Airport. A charging card is provided to foreign customers who rent an electric vehicle.
- CDW is a system that protects customers against car accidents caused by their own mistakes. For the convenience of foreign customers, they must sign up with complete exemption. If you sign up for CDW, you will be exempt from liability for vehicle damage, but there are exceptions, such as tire problems, vehicle replacement, and interior damage. All LOTTE rent-a-car vehicles are in full coverage insurance, so in the event of a traffic accident, third party liability can be insured up to unlimited coverage, property damage up to 20 million won, and personal injury up to 15 million won.
- If an accident occurs, you will have to pay for business losses during the car repair period. You are responsible for 50% of the standard rental fare corresponding to the period required for the repair of inoperable vehicle in case of accident. The contract will be automatically terminated when the vehicle is inoperable, and we do not provide substitution vehicle.
