Why is it worth hiring a car in Małopolska?
Explore the region without limits
Małopolska is not just Kraków and Zakopane – hundreds of charming villages, castles, mountain trails and hidden gems. Having your own (hired) car gives you: ✓ Complete freedom – you can go wherever you want, whenever you want ✓ Access to places not served by public transport – The Pieniny, the Bieszczady, small villages in the Beskids ✓ Saving time – no waiting for buses or trains ✓ Comfort for the family – car seats, luggage, comfort
Cheaper than travelling in your own car
If you drive your own car on holiday, you’ll miss out on:
- Mileage (reduction in the car’s value)
- The risk of a breakdown whilst travelling (repair costs!)
- Wear and tear on tyres, brakes and suspension
Renting = predictable costs + no worries about the vehicle’s condition.
