Car Hire in Austria

Select a car that fits your needs in terms of size and type, especially if you're traveling with luggage or a group.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

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.

Many car hire deals in Austria require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

Some rentals may have mileage caps. Check the details to avoid extra fees if you exceed limits.

Before driving away from Austria , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

Research any local driving restrictions, such as tolls, road types, and restricted zones, to avoid fines.
