Detailed FAQ on the rental process
As local residents are very concerned about their environment. For example, cars are prohibited to stand with the engine running. When you stop your car, you can only leave the engine working for no more than a minute (this time limit must be taken seriously and should not be exceeded). The penalty for the violation of this rule is from 10 to 50 euro.
Many roads in the country have special security cameras that monitor not speed, like many cameras, but the time used to cover the distance between security cameras. Once you pass the camera, do not increase your speed as your violation will be easily noticed.
You should also not forget that the fine for wrong parking can be imposed not only by the police, but also by the municipality. The fine can be paid off in any bank, but you must do this within two weeks.
