CHEAP CAR HIRE IN AUSTRIA

Austria's alpine roads give some spectacular touring but be careful when setting out between November and May as higher passes can be blocked by snow. Snow chains are compulsory in mountainous areas in winter.

MOUNTAIN ROADS

Give way to buses on maintain roads. When meeting other traffic the vehicle that can give way most easily should stop, so be ready to give way whether you are going up or down.

VIGNETTE

To use Ausrtia's motorway network you must purchase a vignette and display it on your windscreen. Vignettes are available for one year, two months or ten days, and they are available at border crossings or service stations. A vignette also allows you 15% discount on some tunnel toll fees.
