Top tips for hiring a car in Kaunas
- The second largest city in Lithuania has so much to offer and car hire in Kaunas will ensure you can have easy access to it all. If you are yearning for a bit of water, you can go for a drive along the Neman River, or head to the Kaunas Lagoon where you can visit the Pažaislis baroque monastery and church. If you’re visiting with the kids, they will love the Lithuanian Zoo, which is a short 5min drive from the city centre.
- If you’re arriving in Kaunas via Kauno Oro Uostas International Airport (KUN), it will be easy for you to get your Kaunas car hire sorted.

- Driving around Kaunas in the warmer months is a pleasant experience due to the easy road conditions. In addition, many locals go on holiday in the middle of summer or prefer to walk rather than drive, meaning there is less traffic on the roads. However, if you are visiting in winter, you will encounter snow and icy roads which require extra caution. Please also note that in Kaunas you will be driving on the right-hand side of the road.
- You can avoid traffic in Kaunas and save time if you make sure to drive outside rush hour. The main roads inside the city get busy on weekdays in the early morning between 7:00 and 9:00, then in the late afternoon between 17:00 and 18:00. In the warmer months, many locals drive to the coast for the weekend, and as a result the A1 highway can be busy on Friday evenings in the direction of Klaipeda, then on Sunday evenings in the direction of Kaunas.
- Book your rental car in Kaunas at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
I had booked a car for 11:00. When I was there 10:30 the boot with "dollar" sign was closed and no people around. That was in Kaunas airport in Lithuania in the end of July. As i was on a tight schedule I had to rent another car. All ended well, but if there wouldn't have been another car available, it would have ruined my trip.2 locations in Kaunas
