We are renting a car in Berlin, and driving to Prague (for a four day stay). Do we need to buy stickers or permits to do so?

Driving to Prague - Highway Stickers
by: Martina, my-prague-sights.com

Hello Fred,

Thanks for your question. Yes, most likely you will need to purchase a highway sticker for your trip. Although it also depends on the route you take to Prague from Germany. Not all roads require a highway sticker.

The minimum length of time is 10 days. Stickers can be bought at most gas stations, but unfortunately they may not always have a 10 day sticker.

Please check www.motorway.cz/stickers for all the specific details about highway stickers including a map of Czech Republic with highways that require a sticker.

One last note... drivers on Czech highways and roads in general in our country are much more aggressive than those in North America. So, be aware at all times and drive defensively. Also, on highways, the left lane is for very fast traffic and should be used only when passing other cars. While right hand lanes will often have large lorries or trucks.

There is a very small police presence on our highways making them a sort of free for all sometimes, hence the multitude of accidents unfortunately.

If you have any other questions, please contact us directly by clicking "contact" in the upper right corner of this page.

Happy travels!
