What do you need to rent a car in Brno?
Renting a car in Brno is quite convenient, but there can be some specific requirements, especially for foreign renters.
- Form of ID: A valid physical national photo ID is required (e.g., Switzerland ID for rentals in Switzerland, Czech Republic ID for rentals in Czech Republic).
- Driving licence: The main and any additional drivers must present a full physical national driving licence with no major endorsements. Minimum holding period is typically 1 year; for some vehicles or offers it may be 2–3 years.
- Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required. Commonly accepted brands include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB, Discover and sometimes UnionPay; some offers also accept Visa or MasterCard debit cards. Some offers accept only Visa/MasterCard credit cards. A small number of offers do not explicitly list accepted payment tools and may restrict cards at the counter.
- Age requirements: Typical allowed driving age ranges from about 18–21 years minimum up to 75–99 years maximum, depending on the offer and vehicle category. In many cases the standard range is roughly 21–80 years. Where a young driver policy applies, drivers in the lower age brackets (often 19–24 or 21–24) may be charged a per‑day fee (examples include fees around CHF 19.90–24.00 or EUR 12.10–16.66 per day, sometimes capped after a certain number of days). Exact minimum/maximum ages and young driver surcharges depend on the specific car and supplier and can be stricter for premium or luxury vehicles.
- Driving licence: The main and any additional drivers must present a full physical driving licence with no major endorsements. Minimum holding period is generally 1 year; some offers require 2–3 years. Accepted driving licence include:
• Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP). The IDP is only a translation; you must also show your original licence (no copies or scans). or
• EU/EEA Driving License, valid across the EU/EEA, Switzerland and the UK. or
• UK Driving License (with DVLA check code or printed DVLA endorsement record, obtained from www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence) where specified. or
• Original Swiss Driving Licence where specified. or
• Original South Korea Driving License (English version, with English translation on the back) where specified. Certain Chinese-region licences (Hong Kong in China, Taiwan in China, Macao in China) are not allowed for rentals in Czech Republic. - Form of ID: A valid passport is required.
- Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required. Most offers accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB, Discover and in some cases UnionPay. Some locations also accept Visa/MasterCard debit cards for deposits. A few offers are limited to Visa/MasterCard credit cards only, and some do not clearly specify payment tools, so card acceptance may vary at the counter.
- Age requirements: Typical allowed driving age ranges from about 18–21 years minimum up to 75–99 years maximum, depending on the offer and vehicle category. In many cases the standard range is roughly 21–80 years. Where a young driver policy applies, drivers in the lower age brackets (often 19–24 or 21–24) may be charged a per‑day fee (examples include fees around CHF 19.90–24.00 or EUR 12.10–16.66 per day, sometimes capped after a certain number of days). Exact minimum/maximum ages and young driver surcharges depend on the specific car and supplier and can be stricter for premium or luxury vehicles.

City & Wine Country
Small
5
2
AutoBrno's Old Town features narrow cobblestone streets and tight parking, while South Moravian wine villages have quiet country lanes. A small car slips into tight spaces, sips fuel on leisurely vineyard loops, and stays easy to maneuver whether you are dodging trams downtown or following signs to a family-run cellar.
Caves & Countryside
SUV
53AutoThe Moravian Karst and Pálava hills bring winding back roads, occasional gravel stretches, and steeper grades near trailheads. An SUV offers confident handling on uneven pavement, room for hiking gear or a folding bike, and elevated visibility that helps on rural two-lane roads where farm traffic meets tourists.
Highway & Cross-Border
Premium
53AutoBrno sits at the crossroads of Czech, Austrian, and Slovak highways, and many travelers use it as a base for Prague, Vienna, or Budapest runs. A premium sedan delivers smooth cruising at autobahn speeds, a quiet cabin for long days, and the trunk space needed for luggage and souvenirs.

Choose BRQ Airport Pickup For Speed And Straightforward Departures
Airport pickup is ideal if you want to land and drive immediately, especially for regional itineraries (South Moravia, Mikulov, Moravian Karst). Inventory can be limited compared with larger hubs, so reserving early helps secure automatics and family-size vehicles. Expect clear pickup logistics and faster access to highways, but confirm opening hours for late arrivals and watch for airport-related surcharges that may apply to some rentals.

Car Rental Planning Tips for Brno & South Moravia
Bring the right documents: Carry your driver’s license, passport/ID, and the same credit card used for booking. Non-EU licenses are often accepted, but an International Driving Permit can help if your license isn’t in Latin script.
Check highway vignette rules: Czech highways require an electronic vignette for most cars. Confirm whether your rental already has it, and if not, buy it online before entering toll-required motorways.
Inspect the car before you leave: Take photos/video of all sides, wheels, windshield, and interior. Ensure existing scratches are noted on the inspection sheet to avoid disputes at return.
Know your fuel type and refueling policy: Confirm diesel vs gasoline (petrol) and whether the rental is full-to-full. Save the fuel receipt near the return time as proof if needed.
Plan for city parking zones: Brno and popular towns use paid parking and resident zones. Use official garages or marked pay areas to avoid fines and towing, especially in historic centers.
Wine-country drives need a designated driver: South Moravia is all about cellars and tastings—plan tastings responsibly, consider alcohol-free tastings, or rotate drivers so everyone stays safe and legal.
Adjust for seasonal road conditions: Winter can bring icy mornings on rural roads; summer weekends can be busy around UNESCO sites. Start early, keep extra stopping distance, and check forecasts.
Choose insurance with realistic risk in mind: If you’ll be parking in cities or driving narrow village roads, consider coverage that reduces excess (deductible). Read exclusions carefully (tires, glass, undercarriage).
