Prague is best explored on foot, so pick up the car on the day you leave the city. Within two hours you can reach Český Krumlov, Karlovy Vary or Kutná Hora, and Vienna, Dresden and Bratislava are all realistic day drives.
If you plan to drive into neighbouring countries, mention it when booking. Most suppliers allow travel within the EU but some charge a cross-border fee.

Driving in Czech Republic
| Driving side | On the right |

| Tolls | An electronic vignette is required on motorways. Cars rented in the Czech Republic usually include it, but it is worth confirming at the desk. |
| Licence | Drivers with a non-EU licence should carry an International Driving Permit with their national licence. |
| Good to know | Dipped headlights must be on at all times, all year round. There is zero tolerance for alcohol when driving. |
