Top spots to rent a car hire in the Czech Republic
Prague is an incredible city but it isn’t your only option when you land in the Czech Republic. The country is full of popular tourist destinations and little villages worthy of your visit. Let us help you find the ideal vehicle in one of the Czech Republic’s many pickup locations.
Prague car rental - The capital is a popular city to begin your Czech tour.

Spend as much time here as you can before heading off to explore the rest of the country in your rental car.
Brno car rental - Home to several universities, the city of Brno is humming with life. The lively cafe and bar scene creates a young, energetic buzz throughout the CBD, while the beautiful traditional churches and the famous Old Town Hall create a balanced atmosphere.
Plzen car rental - Plzen (or Pilsen in German) is home to the famous Pilsner beer. Put the beer aside, and you’ll find a cultural hub with a lovely town square and fascinating historic underground tunnels.
České Budějovice car rental - České Budějovice is a maze of winding cobbled streets and baroque chapels, and while the city itself doesn’t have an abundance of attractions, it’s the perfect base for exploring the southern region of Bohemia. Visit the nearby town of Český Krumlov, or take a tour of the famous Budvar brewery.
Karlovy Vary car rental - Known for its Russian influence and spectacularly colourful 19th century architecture, Karlovy Vary is the place to go for the ultimate pampered experience. Thanks to its thermal springs, this riverside city is full of relaxing day spas, popular with locals and tourists alike. Book in a session before you head along in your rental car as spots fill up fast.
