Car Hire in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Opt for a car that is known for its fuel efficiency to minimize costs during your rental. This decision can significantly reduce your overall travel expenses.

Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often cheaper than paying the rental company's rates.

Utilize GPS devices or navigation apps for easier routing. This can help prevent getting lost and contribute to a smoother travel experience.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Vienna, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Car rental companies usually require a credit card deposit that is temporarily held. Inquire about the deposit amount and its release after returning the vehicle.
