Thoughts on this? Particularly, does anyone know if there is an issue with taking a rented Polish car into Slovakia (and bringing it back)? I had found a copy of the AVIS T&C for each European country the other day...of course I can't find it now. I know that there's the matter of buying a Slovak road sticker or whatnot, but that seems trivial. And it seems like most of the restrictions were on one-way drops or taking cars into countries considered riskier than that of origin - and my understanding is that Slovakia seems lower risk than Poland in the eyes of the rental car company actuaries.
No problems with driving rented cars around Schengen regions based on my experience..
Just ensure the insurance coverage is there ( usually there) and yes you would need to buy and affix a sticker for the road tax for Slovakia which can be bought in the border shops..
We have rented a car in Slovakia and travelled thru Germany, Swiss, Austria, Czech, Hungary and Italy without any problems..oh yes also Slovenia and Croatia.
