Driving tips
Germany is famous for its toll-free autobahn network and Isny is served by the A7 and A96. These high-speed motorways see drivers of hired vacation vehicles travel at speeds of around 130kph; slower drivers are advised to stay in the right-hand lane. There are plenty of petrol stations which accept UK debit and credit cards en route. Like in the rest of Germany, Isny motorists drive on the right.
If you are driving in the winter, be sure to fit snow chains to your vehicle. The AA responds quickly to motorists in need of assistance. The alcohol limit for drivers is 0.5 per cent; motorists caught driving above this limit can expect to pay a hefty fine.
