Road Genius helps you compare campervan and RV rentals from multiple suppliers, making it easy to start a Czech Republic road trip. Prague's Václav Havel Airport and the city's main train station are common pick-up points. The capital sits close to motorways leading east to Brno, north to Dresden, and south to Austria, so Prague works well as either a starting hub or a one-way drop-off location.
