Does Unlimited KM Car Hire Cost More?
Usually a Small Premium
Unlimited km typically costs 5 to 15 percent more than a limited mileage rate. On a 7 day Italy compact rental this works out at around 15 to 30 EUR extra for the entire booking.
Pays for Itself on Longer Trips
For trips over 500 km unlimited km pays for itself. Excess km charges of 20 to 30 cents per km on a limited rate add up fast on longer European routes.
Tip. The break-even point for unlimited km is around 500 km total trip distance. If your itinerary covers more than this, unlimited km is almost always the better value choice.
When Should I Choose Unlimited KM Car Hire?
Choose Unlimited KM When…
- ✅ Your total trip distance exceeds 500 km
