Top tips for renting a car in South Korea

  • All major highways in South Korea have toll booths, and fees can be paid by cash, credit card, or using the Hi-Pass electronic system. Some rental cars may already be outfitted with one, but you should make sure that there is a card inserted; otherwise, the device won’t work. It’s also a good idea to rent a GPS device if you can, because it will save you from the hassle of reading local maps while you’re on the road.
  • Much like in the US, there are closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) in use throughout South Korea, so pay very close attention to speed limits and the rules of the road when driving there. Also, the legal blood-alcohol limit is very low; therefore, you should make sure there is a designated driver if you ever have more than two alcoholic beverages.
  • Always use designated parking spots if you ever rent a car in South Korea. Most of them are located near tourist attractions and shopping malls or big supermarkets, which may not always be suitable. For this reason, it’s a good idea to plan your journeys carefully, using the car for extended trips and employing public transportation to take care of chores and light travel within the city limits.
  • All points North, South East and West in South Korea are connected by an excellent network of major highways that eventually find their way to the capital Seoul so if you enjoy a nice scenic drive then you should enjoy exploring this country. Route 50 connects the western reaches with the eastern region of the country, while Routes 1 and 25 are major arteries that connect Seoul with the southern provinces.
