Good to know
Age requirements for rentals vary by provider and even car type, so be clear on the rules before you book. Some providers in Slovakia may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
If you're bringing the kids along, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Kosice car hire booking. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.
Bring the right documents to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no digital copies) plus another photo ID. Also bring a credit card that can cover the deposit. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.
For first-time drivers in Slovakia, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
Avoid getting behind the wheel if your plans involve alcohol. Slovakia has a zero-tolerance approach to drinking and driving, and fines may apply if you break the rules.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.
