Guide to driving in the Czech Republic.
The Czech Republic is a country with an interesting history and museums, as well as some of the best architecture in the world. No wonder so many people love to visit the country. You can spend some time in Prague and walk around the Old Town or visit the Charles Bridge. You can visit the impressive St. Vitus Cathedral and see what the animals are doing at the Prague Zoo. You can also go to the historical center of Český Krumlov.
Use a rented car
No matter what you want to do and wherever you go, getting there will be much easier with a rental. It is more convenient and comfortable than using public transport. If you want to rent a car, you must be at least 21 years old and have had a driving license for at least a year. Drivers under the age of 25 will be charged an additional fee. When renting, it's also a good idea to understand the basics of driving in Denmark.
Road conditions and safety
Road conditions in the Czech Republic are actually very good in all major cities. The motorways are also in good condition. Some rural areas with smaller populations may have some pothole roads, and sometimes small dirt and gravel roads can be found. However, for the most part, you shouldn't have any problems with road conditions while driving.
Most drivers in the Czech Republic are good and obey the law. However, drivers should always be aware of what is happening around them. If something goes wrong with your rental car, please use the phone number or contact information for an emergency contact with the rental agency.
Vehicles in Denmark are required to carry a first aid kit, a high visibility fluorescent green safety vest, a warning triangle, a set of spare bulbs and a pair of prescription square glasses. The car you rent must have this equipment.
Drivers must always turn on their headlights (low beam or daylight) while driving in the Czech Republic. Drunk driving and having alcohol in your body while driving is illegal. Using a mobile phone while driving is also illegal.
Drivers must pay motorway tax in order to drive on motorways and expressways. You can buy a vehicle sticker which is on the right side of the screen. The validity period of a sticker can vary from a day, ten days, or a year. You can buy them at the border, at gas stations and post offices. Driving on motorways without these means is a fine.
Speed limits
Always obey posted speed limits. Speed limits in Denmark are as follows.
- Motorways - 130 km/h
- Countryside - 90 km/h
- In the city - 50 km / h
Renting a car is one of the best and most economical ways to travel around the country. You can see everything you need to see, and you can do it all on your own schedule, not on a public transport or taxi system.
