Citroën C3 Picasso 1.6 HDi

Folding the split backrest gives you a long, reasonably flat area that will take a bike with the front wheel removed, a set of flat-packed furniture or a dozen or so moving boxes. The bench splits, so you can fold just one side and carry a passenger and a long item at the same time.

In most Warsaw underground car parks, yes: despite its tall shape the car fits within the height limits typically found in shopping centres and office buildings. For older, tighter car parks under tenement buildings, check the height sign at the entrance. If a roof box is fitted, the overall height increases and has to be counted separately.

We rent for at least 5 days. A day costs 90 PLN, a week 615 PLN and a month 1 900 PLN. The longer the booking, the lower the daily rate. Pick your dates in the calendar on this page to see the total.

The deposit is 800 PLN. We hold it on a payment card issued in the renter's name at handover and release it once the car has been checked on return, within three working days at the latest.

Each day includes 300 km. The allowance adds up across the whole booking, so a one-week booking gives you seven times that, to use however you like. Every kilometre above the allowance costs 1 PLN and is settled on return.

Third-party insurance with roadside assistance in Poland, servicing, inspections and seasonal tyres, a second driver at no charge once named in the contract, and pick-up at our office. The car is handed over with a full tank and returned the same way.

At our office on Wiejska 12/3 in Warsaw free of charge, at Chopin Airport for 80 PLN, or at an address you give us for 120 PLN. The return is settled the same way.

An ID card or passport, a category B driving licence valid in Poland, and a payment card for the deposit issued in the renter's name. A second driver shows the same documents and is added to the contract at no extra cost.

Yes, within the European Union, as long as you tell us in advance and the trip is written into the contract. We need this to extend the insurance and roadside assistance to the destination country. Without it the cover does not apply outside Poland.

Check the calendar on this page. Booked days and service buffers are marked, and any other day can be selected. Once you pick your dates, the form works out the price and takes the booking. Those days leave the calendar straight away, and the booking is binding once the office confirms it.

Yes. The standard deposit is 800 PLN, but with excess insurance at 29 PLN per day it drops to 400 PLN. If there is damage covered by the insurance, you then pay no excess. You tick the insurance when booking, and the charge never exceeds the amount it takes off the deposit.
