About Driving in EU Guide
Driving in EU Guide is built by a U.S.–Austrian couple who love traveling, finding the best deals, maximizing credit card perks, and planning road trips across Europe. We built this site so other travelers can do the same.
By Larry & Sophia
Planning a road trip in Europe sounds exciting until you start researching the rules and regulations. We love some good EU regulations :D
We asked ourselves the same questions:
- • Do you need an international driving permit?
- • Do I need anything to drive on the highways, like vignettes?
- • Can you drive a rental car across borders?
- • What are the best U.S. credit cards to book rental cars?
- • What are the best rental car providers?
- • What should we do if we get into an emergency or accident?
Hi, we're Larry and Sophia. Larry grew up in the United States; Sophia is from Austria. When friends and family started visiting Europe, they often asked us for advice about renting cars and driving between countries.
What started as a guide we made for loved ones visiting Austria quickly grew into something bigger.
We realized how hard it was for travelers to find clear and reliable information about driving rules across Europe. Every country has different laws, toll systems, and rental requirements, and the information online is often scattered or outdated.
That's why we built Driving in EU Guide.
