Important remarks

- Driving in Austria: driving is very comfortable and safe thanks to the excellent road network, which is in a very good state of repair. However, driving on motorways and dual carriageways requires a so-called vignette (toll payment sticker) that must be placed visibly on the front windscreen. Rental cars usually have one included.

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
