Car hire at Václav Havel Prague Airport

Most cars offered through KAYAK have a number of policies in place to cover you whilst you are driving. It depends on which car company you use. For example, if you choose a car with Right Cars, your hire price includes theft protection and third-party liability. All car hire companies allow you to choose full cover for an extra cost per day, which covers damage to the vehicle such as accidents.

When you arrive, you will be required to provide a copy of your passport and your driver's licence. We recommend reading and understanding exactly what documentation you need, to avoid being denied a vehicle. A credit or debit card will also be requested, with enough funds to cover the excess should something happen on your trip. In most cases, you may have to leave a deposit too.

The minimum age to hire a car is 21 years old for most companies; however, there may be a young driver fee added to your cost. Budget, for example, charges an extra fee per day for drivers between 21 and 25 years old. RENTplus does not enforce this fee. There is also a maximum age limit in most cases, of around 70-75. Check the small print with your provider before booking.

Car hire at Vaclav Havel Prague Airport may be easy, but you must get familiar with the road rules first. Speed limits are as follows: 50 km/h in the suburbs, 90 km/h outside the town, 110 km/h on expressways and 130 km/h on the highway. It’s always useful to pay attention to the signs in case it is different. Some junctions change to a green light for both cars and people crossing, so take extra care to give pedestrians room to cross. In 2006, it became a law that all cars are to have their lights on at all times.
