(In 1999 I was almost arrested for trying to drive my Hertz car to the duty-free shop at the border crossing in Linz, Austria - by the Austrians! - because my rental contract didn't allow for the Czech Republic.) Now, you should tell your rental agency where you are going, but the last time I rented a car and drove to Prague, we didn't have any issues at all. There shouldn't even be a border post any more (since December 2007, the Czech Republic has been part of the Schengen area). > > Regards > Marshall Driving into the Czech Republic shouldn't be a problem BUT you do have to tell the rental agency in advance and they will make a supplementary charge per day for the whole contract (not just the days you are out of Germany) if my recent experience is anything to go by (hire in Austria, drive to Slovenia). Its not particularly cheap either.
