Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Ostrava are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mercedes Vito, Peugeot 807 7 seater, Citroen C8 Tdi, Citroen Picasso, Mercedes Viano 8 Seater and others.

Standard capacity of a minivan in Czechia is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in Czechia a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Ostrava.

Before leaving the parking garage in Ostrava, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

During the period from October 30 to the end of March, drivers are recommended to use winter tires. There are roads, where it is even prohibited to use summer tires during the abovementioned period. If you plan to drive on snow-covered roads in winter, you may need to use snow chains. The roads, which are considered the most difficult and dangerous, are marked with relevant signs. The use of studded tires is prohibited in the Czech Republic.
In large cities, there are often traffic jams from 8:00 to 10:00 and from 17:00 to 19:00. Many foreign drivers do not notice the «TRAM», «TAXI» and «BUS» signs when they drive in heavy traffic on the road. However, these signs indicate special lanes for trams, taxis and buses, and drivers are not permitted to occupy these lanes.
Drivers in the Czech Republic are distinguished by politeness. They treat other motorists with respect. If you see the car blinking with its lower beams, it means that it gives way to other road users. In this country such a behavior is considered a norm.
