Requirements for Hiring a Car in the Czech Republic

Before booking, make sure you meet the general requirements requested by most car hire agencies in the Czech Republic:

  • Minimum age: Generally 21 years. Drivers under 25 may be subject to a young driver surcharge.
  • Driving licence: You must present a valid driving licence from your country of origin. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet (e.g. Arabic, Cyrillic, Japanese), you will likely need an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your national licence.
  • Credit card: A credit card in the main driver’s name is required to leave a security deposit. The card must have sufficient available credit to cover this hold.
  • Identity document: You will need to present your valid passport or identity card.

Car Hire Companies

To ensure availability and get the best rates, it is advisable to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak seasons. You can compare offers and book through platforms such as DiscoverCars or directly on the companies’ websites.

Companies, opening hours and desk locations can change. Check with the rental company before booking.

Tips for renting a car in Czechia

  1. Check that your driver's license is valid in Czechia. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is only valid together with your national license.
  2. Review what the rental includes: collision damage waiver, third-party liability and the deductible. Most companies also hold a deposit on a credit card in the driver's name.
  3. Learn the local rules before you drive: speed limits, right of way, alcohol limits and tolls.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on and where the steering wheel is.
  5. At pickup, photograph the car (inside and out) and the fuel level, and keep the photos until the deposit is returned.
  6. Know what to do in an accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
