Enjoy reliable car hire in the Slovakia with Hertz. We offer convenient pick-up, a wide selection of vehicles, and hassle-free journeys.
After gaining its independence in 1993 after a peaceful dissolution from Czechoslovakia, the Eastern European country of Slovakia has gone from strength to strength as both a country and a tourist destination. Slovakia is the perfect place for lovers of off-piste action, with its snow-capped mountains and crisp snow perfect for both beginners and experts alike. Its capital, Bratislava, is amongst one of the most stunning cities in Europe, and yet this gem remains largely free of the typical tourist amenities in many of Europe's major cities. Bratislava Castle is set on a hill looking over the city and it contains the first written reference to Bratislava from 907 AD.
Hiring a car in Slovakia allows you to travel the country and visit all its wonderful cities. Bratislava's Action Park is perfect for adrenaline junkies. Situated 15km outside the city, Action Park offers adventure hunters 26 activities to get the blood pumping, including Action Tower, where bungee jumpers can experience 3.8 seconds of freefall from the 110m tower!
It's worth hiring a car in Slovakia and exploring its other cities. Kosice, which was named the European Capital of Culture in 2013, contains some unique architecture such as The Lower Gate and The Shire Hall, which is now home to the East Slovak Gallery.
When driving in Slovakia it is a requirement that you carry a warning triangle, first aid kit, spare bulbs, a tow rope and a spare wheel. It is also recommended by the Slovakian government that you carry a fire extinguisher, reflective vests and a torch. There is also zero tolerance on drink driving in Slovakia.
Speed limits are in kph. In urban areas the speed limit is 60kph, open roads it is 90 kph, and the motorways have a speed limit of 130kph. It should be noted that speeds are different when towing and when using a motorcycle.

To hire a car with Hertz in Slovakia, you need a valid driver’s licence (held for at least a year), any required international driving permits, a valid passport/ID card (no photocopies), and a credit card in your name to cover the rental cost and pre-authorisation amount. If you booked with a different card, bring that one, too. All cards must be in the driver’s name.
Age requirements vary by country. Please check the Rental Qualifications during booking for specific details. At Hertz, we ask the driver’s age to determine if a young driver fee applies. In most cases, the driver must be at least 25 years old and have had their license for at least 1 year. Drivers under 25 usually incur an additional fee.
As per Hertz policy, the booking MUST be made under the name of the renter i.e. main driver who picks the car up with his/her own debit* or credit card, using a debit* or credit card in the renter's name. The same debit* or credit card MUST also be presented upon collection of the vehicle, as a guarantee. Hertz does NOT accept debit* or credit cards in a name other than the main driver's, even if accompanied by a "per procurement"/mandate document and personal documents of the debit or credit card holder. *HERTZ do NOT accept debit cards in every country. Please check Debit/prepaid Cards for details.
Hertz car rental rates exclude fuel. Cars are provided with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank, or a refuelling charge will apply. You can purchase fuel at rental, but no refund is given for unused fuel. Ask about our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) when picking up the car.
For prepaid car hire bookings in Slovakia , you can cancel by midnight two days before the date of your scheduled pick-up date for a full refund. If you cancel after this time but before pick-up, your refund will depend on our Cancellation Policy. For "Pay at location" bookings, you can cancel any time before pick-up free of charge. However, no-shows without cancellation will incur a No Show/Lost Rental Fee.
