KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Innsbruck
Car hire in Innsbruck is a fantastic way to see this medieval Austrian city based in the heart of the Alps. Surrounded by long scenic roads all around the city, several must-see destinations are not reachable by public transport, making Innsbruck car hire a great way to experience the wonders of the region. Apart from a myriad of city attractions, you can take your hire car up the legendary Kauntertal Glacial Road, winding up 1900 vertical metres for a spectacular view of the city. 45 miles out of Innsbruck you can find the medieval town of Kufstein, rich with history, meadows and forests.
If visiting Innsbruck by plane, you will find a host of car hire companies based at the airport, such as Avis, Budget, Dollar and several others. Once you have collected your luggage, walk outside the Arrivals terminal at the airport and you will see the car rental area. The city has several second branch options if you decide to conveniently drop off and continue your trip without flying.
Depending on what time of year you visit Innsbruck, be aware of snowfall when booking a vehicle. In heavy snow conditions, you will be required to have snow tyres on larger vehicles. Generally the roads of inner Innsbruck are well-maintained and cleared of snow regularly, making it less daunting. Most of Innsbruck Old Town is pedestrianised and does not allow traffic, but be careful in the surrounding streets, as the area is well-populated. Innsbruck is also one of the most well-loved cities for cyclists, so look out for them in the centre and even more so on the mountain roads. Getting a sat nav will be great way to help you avoid congestion and navigate effectively.
Innsbruck is a university city, with two main universities attracting many students, and as popular destination for winter sports, the city sees a fair deal of traffic move along its roads. Servicing the city are the busy A12 and A13 motorways, which run around the edge of the region with several busy turn-offs into the city. Avoid main roads around peak hour times (7:00 and 17:00 in particular) as this is when congestion is at its highest. Roads surrounding the university and heading into the city, such as Innrain, suffer the most from inner-city congestion.
If you are heading to Innsbruck, Austria, and you would like to drive around the area in Innsbruck car rentals, you should keep in mind that manual transmissions are much more common than automatic transmissions in Europe.

However, there are plenty of automatic cars available if you are unable to drive manual.

Hertz Innsbruck claimed we damaged the vehicle (a small scuff to the rim) despite the fact we never parked close to a curb or came close to one on the road. The "damage" was 100% there before we picked the car up. Prior to driving, I inspected the vehicle in their poorly lit facility and even if I had noticed the scuff on the rim, would not have considered it worth reporting. They are now claiming the damage is worth over 1,000 Euros. Hopefully our credit card insurance will cover the claim but I cannot believe the situation we are in with a supposedly reputable rental car company. This feels like they are trying to take advantage of tourists unable to fight such a claim.
Avis fraudulently charged me $1100 for damage that does not exist
