    Pickup and drop services are very easy. Just show your DL and booking confirmation at the counter and they’ll give you the car. For drop they will tell you where to park and also where is the Dropbox for the key.

    Regarding highway driving: you are always supposed to drive on the right lane unless you are overtaking. Driving in the middle lane (lane hogging) is frowned upon. Just something to remember for your next trip to Europe :)

    Thank you so much 😀 The border fees that we had to pay was I think 50 Euros (this fees cover all the border that we crossed - Montenegro & Bosnia). But they keep changing the fees. & the structure was different for every company! Please check your rental car terms before booking . It will be mentioned under the ‘Extra Services (Payable at Counter)’ tab.

    Hey there Thanks for the tips! We are travelling to Munich this September and plan to rent a car and drive to Swiss, Italy, Austria and Czech before returning the car at Munich after 16 days. Are there any additional border crossings permits that we need to buy do you know…? Or is it not feasible way of road trip..? Thanks in advance!

    Sounds awesome! You just have to inform them when picking up the car that you’ll be crossing borders and accordingly they’ll charge you. European roads ofcourse are amazing and you can easily cover large distances in very short time. Have fun 😁

    Thank you!😊 Normal Indian DL (in English) works fine but it’s highly advisable to carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) as well. You can easily get it from your nearest RTO .
