It would be a good idea to book the car in advance so that you have access to a mode of transportation as soon as you reach the airport. Hiring a car through a good travel agent is also a good idea because of several reasons. The rates of different cars are different for different cities. Only a travel agent would be familiar with all these rates. If you try to book a car by yourself, you may be conned. You may also be burdened with hidden costs like insurance if you are not too careful. You surely do not want to get involved in arguments about insurance rates during a vacation! A travel agent will offer you an all inclusive car rental package.
Another advantage of booking through an agent is that you can pick up a car in one city and then drop it in another. This is very convenient as you have to take flights within Europe to save time. This also means that you don't have to keep paying for the car even on days when you may not need the car because you are going on a cruise or a trek.
A travel agent will also be able to tell you the best mode of transportation in the different European cities. In some cities good mass transport services may be available and some locations are best explored on foot. In these cases you will not need a car for that city but perhaps need it merely to travel to and from it.
It may also be a good idea to buy your plane tickets, and book automobiles through the same agent because they will offer you a better discount if you do this.
Keep these things in mind and car rental Europe will be easy for you. Bon Voyage!
