Driver license requirements
- Czech Republic accepts all driver licenses issued in the European Union (EU).
- If your driver license is issued by a non-EU country, for it to be considered valid you’ll need a Czech visa. Another requirement is to have been in the EU for no more than six months at the time of the rental. If you’ve been in the EU longer, you’ll need a driver license issued by an EU country.
- If your driver license is printed in a non-Latin alphabet (Cyrillic, Arabic, etc.), you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP/IDL) or an official translation of your license into English or German.
- You must carry your driver’s license, not its copy, with you at all times.
- You need to have had your driver license for at least one or two years, depending on the car provider’s requirements.
- There may be additional requirements depending on the car provider and car category, so make sure to check the terms and conditions before booking.

Top driving routes
- Prague–Brno (205 km / 127 mi) Traveling between the Czech Republic’s two largest cities is fast and convenient. If you’re feeling adventurous, you might want to make a small detour on the way to visit the town of Jihlava and its famous underground corridors.
- Prague–Vienna (333 km / 207 mi) From one iconic capital to other, you can leave Prague in the morning and be in Vienna by noon, which makes this a great day-trip or a weekend getaway. Note that you’ll have to cross the national border with Austria, so check with your car rental provider first to make sure they allow it.
- Prague–Ostrava (371 km / 230 mi) This drive will take you from the west to the very northeast of the country (or vice versa). Thanks to good road conditions, you can travel the distance in less than four hours, but you might want to take time to explore Brno or some of the smaller towns on the way.

i have lived there a lot so if you are sightseeing in center definitely DONT RENT A CAR. In COVID times rent a car...going on trips out of Prague car is cheap secure way to travel . Non-COVID times public transport is cheap and very good all over most of country and 100% good in Prague.

We travelled outside of the city to South Bohemia and had a lovely holiday. You don't need to rent a GPS if you have a phone and download an app called MAPY.CZ (you do not need wifi to navigate). I feel like renting from the train station is a little faster and more efficient.
