Entry regulations for cars

If you intend to drive to the Czech Republic from other parts of Europe, you should be in possession of:

- Valid passport
- Your national driving license as well as International Driving Permit
- The vehicle registration documents
- Green Card insurance cover
- Written permission from the vehicle's owner (if borrowed)
- National identity sticker affixed to the rear of the vehicle
- First aid kit
- Two red warning triangles in case of breakdown
- Replacement bulbs for all lights

Drivers without the above documentation in their vehicle may be subject to a fine if stopped in the Czech Republic by the traffic police.

Seatbelt use is mandatory. Children under 12 may not ride in the front passenger seat

Driving under the influence of alcohol (any amount at all) is strictly prohibited and enforced. Fines for doing so begin at approximately $200 and are assessed on the spot by police.

If you are involved in a traffic accident, do not leave the scene. You are required to wait until the police arrive. Dial 158 to report any traffic accidents or injuries.
