Additional driver must be listed in the rental agreement

This formality can only be done with the car rental at Minsk Airport, because the second driver has to present a valid driver's license must. After it has been inserted into the rental car contract by the landlord, he enjoys the same insurance cover as you. In an emergency, an accident caused by an additional driver is fully regulated.
