Driving in Eastern Europe

In the article “Recommendations for a European Rental Car Journey” (Feb. ’15, pg. 43), the author provided tips and described some of the problems encountered while traveling with his wife by rental car in Western and Eastern Europe.

In 2014 I rented a car in Dubrovnik and visited several of the countries he mentioned, but I had no difficulties other than rain.

While I did not visit Kosovo, I did drive to Albania, Macedonia, Croatia and Serbia with no extra fees, needing no extra insurance and having no border difficulty.
