Car Hire in Slovakia

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

Some rentals may have mileage caps. Check the details to avoid extra fees if you exceed limits.

Confirm whether the rental includes roadside assistance for breakdowns or emergencies during your trip.
