Train or Drive - Austria in Winter.

Driving a rented BMW in Central Europe? I would have all your anti-theft insurance lined up properly and make contingencies in case it gets ripped off. Your car won't last long parked on the street in Prague or Budapest. Presumably the original poster is aware that, typically, cars rented in Western Europe, including Germany and Austria, cannot be taken to Eastern European countries? (And for Mercedes, BMW and the like, not even into Italy.) Incidentally, I don't think there is a BMW 310. Starts at 316, then 318 etc. "Andy" wrote in message ... My wife our two kids ages 8 and 10 and I are going to Vienna, Austria for 6 days in mid February 2003. During our stay I am considering driving to see areas in Hungary, Slovakia and possibly the Czech republic. We would also like to take a day trip to Salzburg. (There is no way we can do all of this, so we will have to choose the best prospects soon.) Some of our friends recommend that we use the train instead. I suspect with four people and the short stay the cost difference will not be a significant factor. ($570 USD for a BMW 310 for a week with snow tires) So here are the questions: How hard is it to drive in Central Europe in the Winter? Does anyone have any must see destinations close to Vienna that they can recommend that are open in February? Are the border crossings difficult? Thanks for your help. Andy |
