Top tips for renting a car in Slovakia
- During the winter, from mid-November until the end of March, cars in Slovakia must be fitted with winter tires. Also known as mud and snow tires, the minimum tread depth for these tires is 3 mm. You may also want to consider asking your rental car company to provide you with snow chains if there is snow on the roads.
- If you are planning on driving your rental car across the Slovakian border, you will need to check with your car hire agency. Most car hire companies will allow you to travel into Western Europe; however, driving to Italy is on request. Cross-border rentals might not be permitted into the following countries: Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Turkey, Ukraine and the former Yugoslavia, and all countries in Africa.
- When you need to park in Slovakia, remember to do so on the right-hand side, and never on one-way streets. In major cities like Bratislava, you will find parking in the downtown area in designated lots. The average price for parking is 0,60 € ($0.67) for 30m.
- Slovakia child safety rules state that children under the age of 12, if they are shorter than 150 cm, can only sit in the rear seat of the car—and only if the vehicle is equipped with a car seat. Only passengers older than 12 may travel in the front seat, and they must fasten their seat belts.
