The best way to cover a seasonal peak in your company is to rent only as many cars as you need for the time you need them, and return them when the season ends. You do not buy a new vehicle or commit to a multi-year contract. For periods of two months or more, long-term rental or operating leasing is a good fit, while shorter needs can be met by standard short-term rental from one day.
When a Temporary Fleet Expansion Makes Sense
Typical situations familiar from everyday business practice:
- Pre-Christmas and summer seasons – couriers, installation teams, field staff or sales representatives need more cars than during the rest of the year.
- Temporary projects – an assignment lasting several months, during which more people travel to various locations.
- Probationary period for new colleagues – until it becomes clear whether the position will prove its worth, you do not wish to invest in a company car.
- Loss of a company car – servicing or repairs may take longer than expected.
If the need recurs every year in the same months, renting is more predictable than owning vehicles that stand idle for most of the year.
How to Estimate How Many Cars You Need
Before you call, please determine a few details. This will make both the selection and the reservation easier:
- Number of vehicles and duration – from when to when you need the cars. The length of the rental also affects the daily mileage limit.
- Mileage – for a one-day rental the limit is 300 km per day, for 2–5 days it is 250 km, for 6–14 days 200 km, for 15–29 days 150 km, and from 30 days 100 km per day. For long-term rental and operating leasing, a mileage allowance of 3,000 km per month applies.
- Who will be driving – every driver needs a valid driving licence and proof of identity, and must be at least 21 years old.
- Transmission and equipment – some colleagues prefer an automatic, while others are content with a manual with air conditioning.
We recommend calculating your actual mileage with a small margin. You will find the specific limits for each vehicle on its detail page.
Which Vehicles Suit a Business Peak
- City and routine rounds: Škoda Fabia with a 1.0 TSI engine, air conditioning and five seats. A practical choice for staff who travel around Prague and its surroundings.
- Delivery of materials, samples and tools: Škoda Octavia Combi with a 1.6 TDI diesel engine and manual transmission. The estate is ideal wherever more luggage space is needed.
- Longer business trips and company management: Škoda Superb Combi with automatic transmission, satellite navigation and a 2.0 TDI engine.
- Team transport: Škoda Kodiaq with 7 seats for occasions when a larger group is travelling together.
- Environmentally conscious companies: Škoda Enyaq iV as an electric option for regular routes where charging is already arranged.
It often pays to mix your fleet: several smaller cars for everyday operations and one or two larger ones for more demanding tasks.
Step-by-Step Procedure
- Determine your needs – the number of cars, the period and the expected mileage.
- Choose the type of rental – short-term for occasional support, long-term or operating leasing for periods of two months or more.
- Check the terms – the deposit varies by vehicle type and is stated on each car's detail page. General information can be found on the rental terms page.
- Arrange the handover – you can collect the vehicle at our Westfield Černý Most branch or, after agreeing by phone or e-mail, use delivery within Prague.
- Make your reservation – via online reservation, or by phone or e-mail.

What to Watch Out For
- Insurance – all vehicles are covered by compulsory third-party liability insurance and collision damage insurance. In the event of an accident, however, the client pays an excess depending on the type of insurance, so please inform your drivers accordingly.
- Travel abroad – possible only by prior agreement and only to EU countries. Assistance service is mandatory when travelling abroad.
- Mileage limit – if you regularly expect high mileage, please compare in advance whether the daily limit suits you or whether the monthly allowance of a longer rental is a better fit.
- Early reservation – demand tends to be higher during peak periods, so please do not leave your order until the last minute.
