Default Driving in Austria and Germany


ha scritto nel messaggio
ups.com...
Hi

I was told that for driving in Austria I will need a sticker (for
autobahn)
Is it the same for Germany ?

I am going to drive daily form Innsbruck to the following destinations

Kuhtai Glacier
Stubaier Glacier
Ischgl
Solden
Arlber St Anton

I will do this for skiing. I have a few questions:

-What currency am I supposed to have with me ?
-For those of you who went there ...what are the supplimentary charges
applied for a VISA or Mastercard transaction (my account is not in the
local currency) . I am not happy to travel with a lot of cash with me.
-Where can I buy the stickers for Germany and Austria and for how much
(if you know)
-How much would be to rent complete set for skiing (boots, poles,
skiis) ?

Any recommendations for driving eating and skiing for these
destinations would be much appreciated. I would also like to know if
the parking is OK for these destinations. Are there any fee for parking
?


pls note that in Germany there are NORMALLY no speed limits on Autobahnen..
so if you want to experience driving a car at 250 kms.. you might do it.

you will have to buy a sticke in Austria.. they havea different cost
depending on how long they are valid for..
I think the minimum is one week / 10 days.. the maximum one year

besides. you will need to pay extra charges in tunnels or bridges ( i think
there are 6 such locations where you pay extra money in Austria. )

I would not risk travelling without a sticker in Austria..
if they check. and you are without..
you will pay huge money..

Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere
being visa and mustercard the most commonly accepted
without any surcharge.
ATM machines are also everywhere
