Top tips for hiring a car in the Czech Republic

  • Renting a car to explore Czech Republic means that you get to spend your vacation time efficiently. Plus, many of the highways have been recently updated, so links to major cities are much better. Harder-to-reach locations like Litomysl in the east of Czech Republic require a car to visit, as do the northern towns of Sumperk, Hanusovice, and Kralicky Sneznik.
  • If you plan to visit several cities on your Czech vacation, you should consider renting a saloon model, which is not only comfortable but is ideal for longer highway journeys. For inner-city driving, compact vehicles are well-suited for the narrow roads and small parking lots. Estate cars are best for larger groups with lots of luggage.
  • When you rent a car in Czech Republic, children under 150 cm (5 ft) in height or under 36 kg (79 lb) in weight must use appropriate, safety-standard child restraints, whether they are traveling in the front or the rear of the car. If you are traveling to and from the airport, you will either need to bring your own car seat or rent one from the car hire agency for around 115 Kč ($36).
  • You will be able to cross the border in your rental car from Czech Republic into the rest of Europe, but regulations may vary depending on the category of your vehicle. Also, you need to first obtain permission from your car hire agency. There are newly built highways, like the D2, that connect Prague to Pilsen and that also extend to the German border.
