Travel to Germany, Poland and Prague

[DJ#7436]

Hey,

I'll be traveling to the netherlands, Germany, Poland and Prague next summer. Does anyone know a rental car company that will allow you to drive from country to country. There seems to be a problem driving from eastern Europe to western Europe.

Thanks,

Dj

Do you know why the US is such a great country for car drivers? No direct border with Eastern Europe!

No really, it is known that a lot of cars are stolen and taken to Eastern Europe. That is why many locals are also hesitant to drive there, and rental companies are reluctant to rent to border crossers. Gas is expensive too btw, much more so than in the US. So look into train / plane travel, which is usually somewhat cheaper and also more relaxing. Train usually works quite well in Germany, because lots of locals use it too to travel long-distance. In fact, I was there and people would look at me kind of weird because I was for driving a distance that can be done on rail faster and probably cheaper. Driving a long way on the Autobahn is much more tiring than on the Interstate, because there's a lot more traffic usually and also the rules of the road are different.

I think you can fly from Germany to Poland for the same amount of money as it would take to rent a car and buy gas. Saves some time too. Or you can look into bus travel, which is more common in Eastern Europe.

I wouldn't burden yourself with the hassles of a car.

Do what the locals do, take trains!! The train system in europe can't be beat, and will take you to where ever you want to go.
