Rent-car: Drive to Pecs



Drive to Pecs.

Rent Car (Awesome!)

That was a nice drive. I rent a car and drove to Pecs. Driving in Budapest was not easy, but once you get into express way it is a really easy drive. Quite wide roads and you can drive 110km/h or so.

Rent-a-car is not cheap. 80 Euro (=24,000Ft) / day(24 hours). 50 Euro is the rent and 30 euro is an optional insurance which covers damages of the rent car itself. Mandatory insurance only covers the car and people in the other car you would have an accident with.

You need them to rent a car:

  1. ID: passport or Residence permit.
  2. Driver's license(I have a Hungarian one).
  3. Credit Card: the deposit below is pre-charged.
  4. Optional insurance: with it deposit will be 800 euro. 3,000Euro in case of no optional insurance.
  5. the Rent.
  6. Fuel: 11,000Ft for 400Km. (go to and come back from Pecs)

I saw a tank (with catapillars and for wars) carried on a big truck. I have never seen a tank on a highway.

This was my 4th time to drive a car in foreign countries(excluding my country Japan).

  1. France: I drove a Ford when I travelled in Loware region. a part of Western European Journey.
  2. the US: I drove (a Hyndai?) to Kenedy Space Center in Florida. a part of Great American Journey.
  3. Singapore: I drove (a Ford?) to Malaysia(just crossed the border). a part of SWY(the Ship for the World Youth).
  4. Hungary: from Budapest to Pecs. During medical study in Hungary
  5. Japan: I had my own car :)
