  • Get acquainted with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, test the lights and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stay on the right side of the road in Slovakia.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph in built-up areas and around 125kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.
