Here's your clue on when to book. Around two weeks in advance is when you're most likely to find the best price on a Ohrid car hire.
Carwiz, Goldcar and Inter Ways are some of the top-ranked providers in the city. They're a smart place to start comparing offers.
Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Ohrid car hire policy, whether you book with Carwiz or another supplier. Some may charge separately for it instead of including it in the base home.
Consider booking a one-way home. You might be able to score a good deal if the provider needs to relocate some of its vehicles. Find the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'
Spend less on fuel by picking a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use.
Hit the highway without watching the miles and racking up additional fees. Go to the 'Policies' filter and click 'Unlimited mileage' to find a ride that lets you explore further.

You'll need to bring a few things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds to pay the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.
