Good to know
Check each provider's age requirements before booking your rental in Poland. Rules can vary, and some restrictions or fees may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, just uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to browse your options.
Bringing the kids with you? Car seat rules vary from one place to another, and the right setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Bydgoszcz car rental reservation.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.
Driving in Poland can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.
Stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Poland is 0.02%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.
Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the Polish złoty (PLN) here. As well as your credit and debit cards, have some cash handy for smaller purchases.
