  • GPS navigation, to find your way on unfamiliar roads
  • Child seats, infant seats and booster seats, which are required by law for young children in most countries
  • Extra insurance that lowers or removes the excess you pay if the car is damaged.
Extras are limited, so it's best to reserve them together with the car.
