Parking in Ostrava's city center is mostly paid, often managed by parking meters or mobile apps.

Outside the immediate city center, free parking options become more available, particularly near shopping centers or residential areas. Always check signs carefully for restrictions and payment requirements.

Fuel (petrol and diesel) is readily available at numerous service stations throughout Ostrava and on major routes. Most stations accept credit and debit cards, though having some Czech Koruna (CZK) cash is advisable for smaller, rural stations. Fuel prices are comparable to other Central European countries, fluctuating but generally around 38-42 CZK per liter (approx. 1.50-1.70 EUR per liter as of 2026).

Яке авто обрати

For city driving and short excursions around Ostrava, an economy or compact car is perfectly suitable and economical. If you plan to venture into the Beskydy Mountains or explore more rugged terrain, an SUV or a car with higher ground clearance might be more comfortable. Automatic transmission vehicles are widely available and recommended for drivers less familiar with manual gearboxes.
