KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Riga

  • The beautiful city of Riga, located right on the Baltic Coast, is the perfect place to explore with a hire car. With your own four wheels you can freely navigate through the city’s main points of interest, such as the Latvian National Opera and Town Hall Square. You can also head to other worthy destinations, including the seaside town of Jūrmala, which is only a 40-minute drive away.
  • Many of the major hire car agencies, including Avis, Budget, and Enterprise, operate at Riga International Airport (RIX), which is about 8 miles from the city center. The hire car companies can be found in the Sector E of the Arrivals Hall in the airport’s main terminal. You don’t need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in Riga.
  • The Old Town area is reserved for pedestrians only, so make sure to park the car in the surroundings before heading there. You must drive with the lights dipped at all times in Riga, and winter tires are enforced between December 1st and March 1st every year. For a more pleasant driving experience, visit Riga between June and September.
  • Rush hour traffic is at its worst between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., and then between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., so avoid driving within this window of time if you want to skip the long lines of traffic. Traffic jams get worse close to and on the several bridges that cross the Daugava River and provide access into and out of the city.
  • Book your car hire in Riga at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about hiring a car in Riga

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Riga?

    For driving around Riga, a mid-size sedan is a good option. An economy car will also help cut the costs of driving in Latvia, and a spacious SUV is great when road tripping across the country. But if you’re visiting in the winter, a four-wheel drive provides more safety when driving through snow, and when winter tires are required.

  • What’s the speed limit in Riga?

    The speed limit on urban areas is typically 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour), unless otherwise posted. The speed limit on public roads is usually 90 km/h (55 mph), and drivers on high-speed roads are allowed to drive at a maximum speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Riga?

    On-street parking in Riga is paid between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday to Friday, and between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday. Parking on Sundays and public holidays is free. There are several different parking zones, with each charging different rates. There are many parking lots in Old Riga, with a rate of €1.50 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., and €1 until 11 p.m.

  • What is the cheapest car hire company in Riga?

    In the past 72 hours, the cheapest car hires were found at GREEN MOTION ($36/day), Alamo ($43/day) and Ace ($81/day). In the last 72 hours the cheapest hire car price was found at GREEN MOTION Dzirnieka Lela LV-2167 (9 kilometres from the city centre).

System took my reservation ok. Few minutes before we were to pick up the car. I got email telling me that my car was not available for one way rental.. Right I spent 35 Euros for taxi to get to the airport. While at the airport, the attendant never showed up at the 10:00 scheduled time. We ended up renting with Sixt.

The car was almost brand new, and it was very nice. In fact, everything was fine except for the initial pick-up. There was no instruction about calling Green Motion prior to the pick-up, so we went to the pick-up point only to find nothing and no one. We finally found a telephone number for Green Motion on the Internet, and discovered that we were supposed to call them 30 minutes prior to the pick-up point, which was downtown, so they could bring the car over. By the time we did all this, we had walked all over the place, and wasted 45 minutes. Once we got in touch via phone, everything was quite fine. In the future, if the pick-up point is anywhere but the airport, the instructions must say to call in advance and provide a local phone number.

Rude staff, lack of communication, and a surprise $900 deposit that will stay with them for 10 BUSINESS DAYS! They won’t release the charge to have the funds back faster even though the vehicle was brought back spotless! This kind of company policy should be explicit on Kayak website!

Will never use them again and better off using one of the large chains. They were rude at times. The attendant was rushing through the information like he needed to be somewhere else. They need to work on customer service.
