- 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–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).
