Drinking and driving is not welcome in Austria either. The blood alcohol limit is 0.5 - it's best to just stay sober, so you're on the safe side! Remember winter tyres when you are on the road in Austria during the cold season - winter tyres are compulsory between 1 November and 15 April.
In Austria a general toll obligation applies, so you should take care of a valid vignette. These can be purchased at customs stations, petrol stations, automobile clubs or the post office, for example. Ten days currently cost 7.90 euros, two months 23 euros, and you get the annual vignette for 76 euros. The vignette is stuck to the inside of the windscreen or to a front side window and should be clearly visible. Who is without a valid vignette on the way is asked to the cash and must count on unpleasant punishments. Some tunnels and roads are also subject to separate charges, which you may be advised of.
If you want to park your rental car on the outskirts of the city and continue on foot, you should familiarize yourself with the current parking rules. The parking time in the short-term parking zones marked in blue can vary and is usually signposted. Parking is usually free and you only need a parking disc. In larger cities the use of parking tickets is often mandatory, which you can obtain at petrol stations, for example.
