The car rental companies don't know how to install car seats and they don't have the instructions, so you can't do it yourself. If you are bring a car seat on an international flight, each carrier has their own rules. Normally you have to call at least a month in advance and give them all the details of the seat and they will let you know if they approve it or not. Renting a car seat at the other end is one option, although we now use portable car seats that fit in our luggage instead. One of them is the Ride Safer Travel Vest and the other is the Eddie Bauer portable car seat. Depending on how frequently you fly and for how long they may be more cost effective than renting.
