Avis

If you're arriving in Riga by air, you can jump in an Avis car right from the city airport. They're open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you’re already in town, no problem, you can drop by their office at Lacplesa Str 92, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm to sort yourself out some wheels (give the code "o788355" to get started). Avis have got a great fleet of cars ready to drive away including, Audis, Opels and Golfs. Go online toreserve your car, or to find out more just go to the site, click ‘Display Rental Agreement’ and hit ‘Ask Avis’. Avis’ English language website should be able to answer all your queries and if it can’t, you can contact them directly.

And once you’re all buckled up and raring to go, Riga and its surroundings are yours to discover. Why not hit the road and head down to beach resort that was once the fave hot spot of Commie presidents including Brezhnev and Khrushchev, Jurmala. If the sun’s out you and your comrades are guaranteed to turn red under the Latvian rays.

Good service. Good car. Good trip.
