Travel / Tips and advice on CAR HIRE IN KRAKOW AREA [10]

Thanks for that Stu. I looked on their website, which looks very good indeed, and whilst the prices are really low....their online booking system seems to be trying to charge the daily advertised rate for the collection, and again for the return. So for a 24 hour period it is charging 2 x advertised daily rate, plus a 50 pln car preparation charge. I have e-mailed them to question this, so will await their explanation. Many thanks.

Travel / Tips and advice on CAR HIRE IN KRAKOW AREA [10]

Has anybody any helpful advice or insights about hiring cars locally in Krakow city centre or vicinity? I will be hiring one fairly frequently over the next few months, and would appreciate any recommendations about reliable, tried and trusted companies, or useful contacts.

Life / DOCTORS ( NFZ ) AND - PRESCRIPTIONS in Poland (Krakow) [5]

Thanks for all your help and advice Gumishu! I will certainly try it...and see what happens. Antidol sounds as though it's getting nearer....LOL. Maybe a couple of them will do the trick. Now if I could only get hold of some Vi codin ( sorry not allowed to say the word LOL ) that 'House MD' is addicted to....I'd be laughing! ( literally )

Life / DOCTORS ( NFZ ) AND - PRESCRIPTIONS in Poland (Krakow) [5]

Thank you for all that excellent advice Olaf. Sounds like a good starting point. You would be amazed at how many places around the world regard Co-codamol - with its 500mg paracetamol and 30mg of codeine, as being almost akin to a couple of grams of heroin...and accordingly make it almost impossible to buy.

Anyway, much appreciated...and still open to any other recommendations if anybody has any.

Life / DOCTORS ( NFZ ) AND - PRESCRIPTIONS in Poland (Krakow) [5]

Does anybody know of a good NFZ registered doctor in Krakow who; A) speaks English; and B) accepts patients under the 'European Health Insurance Card' system? Prefereably close to the centre, but failing that anywhere within reasonable travelling distance.

Also, can anybody advise me of prescription availability and costs. I require some pain relief medication Co-codamol ( 500mg paracetamol with 30mg of codeine ) which is a prescription only medication in UK. Is it available in Poland, and does it have the same 'prescription only' status here too?

Thanks
