Detailed FAQ on the rental process
In winter, in case of precipitations, riding on some local roads is permitted only if a car is equipped with snow chains. Tourists who plan to make rides to piedmont regions should pay particular attention to this rule.
There are no one-level interchanges on main highways, and on other types of roads their number is minimized. Many conventions to other roads and turns are made as bridges.
In addition to motorists and motorcyclists, there may also be cyclists on roads. They often become the reason for large traffic jams. Cyclists often form a long line and move slowly along the road. Such situations should be treated with a share of patience and understanding. In no case should drivers publicly express their outrage.
