The drawbacks
ONE problem with renting a car in eastern Europe is the road signs.
Several countries use the cyrillic alphabet and may not give a translation on the smaller roads. Another is that clients have to pay a lot more for their rental car than in the west.
A compact manual car rented from Europcar this month would have cost £208 at Budapest Airport and £238 at Prague Airport including unlimited mileage, damage and theft waiver, tax, third-party cover and airport surcharge.
This compares with £135 in Nice.
