Car rental Győr-Moson-Sopron County

Located in Western Hungary, the county of Győr-Moson-Sopron is a diverse region interlaced with natural landscapes, historic landmarks, and quintessential Hungarian charm. From the forested uplands to the labyrinthine streets of its medieval towns, every corner is a new encounter waiting to be explored.

Riding the Roads

Driving conditions may differ from those in Britain but fear not! Here are some pointers:

• Driving side: Unlike Britan where they drive on the left side of the road, Hungarians drive on the right-hand side.
• Speed limits: These vary greatly, with 50 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h outside of built-up areas, 110 km/h on expressways, and 130 km/h on motorways.
• Toll Roads: Several motorways require a prepaid e-vignette. Unfortunately, real vignettes are not available.

Car Class Recommendations

Compact or economy class cars would be your best bet, for easy navigation through the towns and villages. However, if you'd intend to devour the hinterland, a 4x4 vehicle never hurts!

Attractions: Where to Drop By?

With a myriad of attractions to choose from, here are the must-visits:

• FUTURA Science Center: Perfect for unleashing your inner nerd!
• Győr Basilica: A look back in time.
• Hegyeshalom-Neusiedler See National Park: A treasure trove of nature’s beauty.

Seasonal Events

Hungarians love to celebrate, and Győr-Moson-Sopron County is no exception! Some of the annual events here include the Győr Summer Festival and Szigetköz Fish Festival.

Money Matters

The official currency of Hungary is the Forint (HUF). While credit and debit cards are widely accepted, some small-town establishments and the countryside prefer cash.

Keep in Mind

Get a phrasebook handy. English isn't as widely spoken in Győr-Moson-Sopron. Also, the British Embassy in Hungary can be reached at (+36) 1 266 2888, just in case.

With the open road awaiting you, exploring Győr-Moson-Sopron County will undoubtedly be a memorable escapade. Enjoy your drive!
