KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bratislava

  • One of the best things about car hire in Bratislava is that it will give you the freedom to take your time exploring all the fascinating nooks and crannies of this historical city. The main tourist attraction dominating the city is Bratislava Castle, built in the 1200s and now a museum. The rococo-baroque architecture of the Grassalkovich Palace is also renowned. For views out over the city and the River Danube on which it lies, hiring a car will allow you to drive up to the Kamzik TV Tower on Kanzik Hill, which is also where the Bratislava Forest Park begins. From the observation deck you can see as far as Austria and Hungary on a clear day. The Blue Church showcases the original decorative style of the city.
  • You’ll land at Bratislava Airport, and here you can pick up the hire car you’ve pre-booked, be that with Sixt, Hertz, Alamo, Budget or one of the other main operators. They are all located in the main arrivals area of the airport’s central terminal, which is where you’ll be once you’ve collected your luggage and cleared customs. From there you can easily walk to collect your car after you’ve sorted out all the necessary final details.
  • A word to the wise about car hire in Bratislava: the traffic can flow very fast compared to the UK. If you’re not familiar with the city, this can become a factor as you might feel a bit rushed. The roads are safe, but be careful of potholes, which are a perennial issue due to the long cold winters. It’s usually better to drive during the day and to stick to roads with good street lighting at night, so you can see them coming. Finally, take note that one drives on the opposite side of the road to the UK when in Slovakia.
  • Bratislava has its rush hours at the typical times you’ll be used to. Peak times are at 08:00 and 16:00. However, the build-up can start up to an hour before, and it can take the same amount of time to taper off afterwards. Fridays are slightly different, with the evening rush hour concentrated between 15:00 and 16:00. It’s a good idea to avoid the centre of town at these times, when you can spend an extra 15min in traffic for every 30min that you’re driving, especially on main roads like Prievozska and the large intersections on Bratislava-Prievoz.
  • Book your rental car in Bratislava at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Bratislava are around 24% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Bratislava

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Bratislava?

    An all-rounder will be a good choice for Bratislava car hire, and an MPV will fit the bill very well. You’ll have plenty of visibility to take in the sights of a city renowned as one of Europe’s most beautiful, and you won’t have to worry so much about the potholes on the roads. You’ll also be able to drive around the surrounding area and access tourist landmarks in most of the terrain.

  • What’s the speed limit in Bratislava?

    There are consistent speed limits in the various zones in and around the city. In the centre of town and the built-up residential areas of Bratislava, the speed limit is 50km/h (30mph). Once you’re on the open roads outside town, you can travel at up to 90km/h (55mph), and if you’re on a motorway travelling to visit surrounding cities, the speed limit is 130km/h (80mph). Pay close attention to these speed limits, as the local constabulary issue spot fines of up to €650 (£570).

  • Where are the best places to park in Bratislava?

    On-street parking is quite easily available in Bratislava and will cost around €1.40 (£1.20) per hour. You can also get a day parking card, which will cost roughly €8.50 (£7.50). Parking is free on weekends, however. You can also park at Sad Janka Krala, which won’t cost anything – then simply take the short walk through Old Bridge to get to the city centre from there.
