Rental cars & driving

렌터카 — roads are great, parking is a boss fight.

International driving permit works at 렌터카 counters (롯데렌터카, 그린벨). Book Korean sites for lower prices; staff switch to English for passports.

Highways run on 하이패스 (Hi-Pass) toll transponders — request it, or pay cash lanes. Speed cameras everywhere; GPS warns you politely.

Parking: 공영주차장 (public lots) and 유료 주차장 (paid lots). Illegal parking fines arrive by mail — 어디다 주차해도 될까요? is a real question.
