When summer time is in force in Italy, summer time is also in force in Austria and the Slovak Republic and therefore there is no time zone.

 

To enter the Slovak Republic and Austria, an identity card is sufficient as both countries are within the European Community and the Shengen area.

 

Both in Austria and in the Slovak Republic there is the Euro.

I rented the car via the Internet through the Budget Company, at a price of Euro 14.72 per day (including the compulsory Vignette for driving on the Slovakian Motorways), for a Skoda with only 1,000 km to the credit. I picked up the car at the international airport of Bratislava-Ivankaa_Ružinov (Slovak Republic). The deposit that is retained on your credit card is Euro 800.

 

Gasoline cost Austria: Euro 1.20 per liter.
