One price for every size. A Nissan Qashqai costs the same as a Toyota Yaris.
Relocation deals: when CityBee needs a car moved, it shows on the map almost free. I've seen Vilnius → Riga for €10 and Vilnius → Palanga for €40.

The only one with a day rental where fuel is not included: lots of kilometres a day (up to about 1,000 in my experience) and you fill up yourself.
I've driven it to Latvia, Estonia and Poland, but Bolt's terms say a trip has to end in the country where it started. Check the app before you cross.
Which one when
A few hours in townAny of the three: compare the per-minute and hourly prices in the apps.
A weekend at the seaCityBee or Spark. Leave the car in Klaipėda, or in Palanga in summer.
A long drive in a day or twoBolt's day rental: many kilometres, you buy the fuel.
With a small childCityBee or Bolt: a booster is usually in the car. Spark has none.
On to Riga or TallinnCityBee: you can leave the car there.
Airports
Vilnius (VNO)
All three. CityBee and Bolt park right at the entrance. Collecting and returning there costs a few euros each way (about €5–6; the app shows it). Spark is a 7-minute walk away, a little cheaper.
Kaunas (KUN)
You can pick up and leave cars here too. The airport is close to town.
If no car is waiting
There are more cars in the morning and afternoon, fewer in the evening. Both airports are almost in town: a taxi to the nearest free car costs €5–10.
Between cities and countries
Pick up and drop off in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda, and in Palanga in summer. Fly into Vilnius or Kaunas, drive to the sea, leave the car there.
Parking and fuel
Free on paid city parking in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda. Even in the centre.
In Palanga free parking for shared cars is not everywhere. Check the zone in the app.
Before you go
Register a day or a week before you travel: add a bank card and upload your driving licence, so you don't do it at the airport.
EU licences are usually approved automatically.
Better than renting here
No parking fees in city centres
100–150 cars to choose from in Vilnius
Damage cover included
Child booster at no extra cost (CityBee, Bolt)
Fast, reliable apps
Be ready for
Sometimes there's no car at the airport when you land. A short taxi ride fixes it.
You can't book a specific car days ahead, only for a few minutes before you walk to it.
Ending a trip in another city or country can cost extra. The app shows it before you finish.
What people say
“I hired a car for one day and it was all perfect. App very easy to use.”
Short quotes from public posts, with a link to each. We leave out names.
Before you unlock, think about kilometres, days and car size, then compare the packages in all three apps. Sometimes CityBee wins, sometimes Spark, sometimes Bolt.
Gabriel · Vilnius
From the club
Watch the CityBee map before a trip to Riga: relocation deals turn up there and cost a fraction of the normal price.

Landing in the evening? Check the apps before you leave the plane. If the airport is empty, a taxi to the nearest car is cheaper than waiting.
