We are booked for the RS Croatia tour in June but would like to travel to Slovakia for a week prior to the tour. We booked out flight into Budapest and plan to rent a car there and drive to Olcnava, Slovakia. ( husband has distant relatives there whom we will be meeting). We will stay there for about a week and then drive back to Budapest for several days. We then plan to take a bus to Ljubljana arriving the day befor our RS tour is to begin. Any tips on renting a car in Budapest? Are the car rental agencies close to the airport? Any other thoughts or tips on this itinerary would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Scythian! We will definitely keep that in mind.
Another thought, perhaps we should take the train from Budapest to Kosice and rent a car from there. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks AGAIN for a great tip. We are still trying to decide the best option.
That is an idea worth considering. But, I think we need a car to be more independent and not as dependent on our relatives whom we have never met.... we still have not decided our best option.
Thank you again for your great information and ideas.
