    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 :)

      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.

    Only one good video on RUclips about road trips and rental cars with complete information. I would like to know about the experience of driving on the highways. We are planning to go to Paris from Zurich by car. Let me know if it's a good option or not."

      Driving on the highways or motorways is the easiest part. You can easily drive at 100+ speed. Driving in the cramped cities is a challenge!

    This video is incredibly informative. Could you please provide information about the total border fees for a trip from Croatia to Montenegro, then to Bosnia, and finally back to Croatia?Thank you in advance!

    • @Trippylens_
      @Trippylens_  Год назад +1

      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, this information is quite helpful! Could you please mention the documents that are required to rent a car? And the process of getting international driving permit, if you can. Thanks!

    • @Trippylens_
      @Trippylens_  4 месяца назад

      Hey thanks! For renting a car you only need a valid driving license (in English) and a credit card (has to be in the name of the person driving the car). For IDP you need to apply through the same RTO that issued your DL. You can go to Parivahan website and apply online. Then visit the RTO with the documents they mention on the website.

    • @Trippylens_
      @Trippylens_  Год назад +1

      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 .

    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!

    • @Trippylens_
      @Trippylens_  Год назад +1

      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 😁
