Important information about Salzburg car rentals

You can increase your comfort during your stay in Salzburg using a rented vehicle that enables you to visit various tourist sites like Mirabell Palace, Fortress Hohensalzburg, and St. Peter’s Abbey. Car rentals in Salzburg have several vehicle styles that allow you to enjoy these Austrian attractions’ picturesque views, even as a group via a passenger van rental. Rental cars in Salzburg incorporate local and international brands such as Buchbinder, Budget, and Europcar, increasing convenience for first-time and seasoned travelers. The interconnected roads within and around the city make it easy to access the eateries, shopping centers, hotels, and healthcare facilities in the town center. Several parking garages and underground lots ensure you can comfortably tour the city without concerns about where to leave your car. You can get various car types, including a cheap car rental in Salzburg from the multiple rental facilities around the city in about 50 car rental locations.

Is it worthwhile renting a car while visiting Salzburg?

You can conveniently choose from about 10 underground garages and four parking spaces within the city center, commonly called Altstadt, to park your vehicle from Salzburg car rentals. Car rentals in Salzburg make it easy to expand your itinerary to include regions outside the city, such as going almost two hours to the famous Grossglockner High Alpine Road. You can also opt to ride with friends or colleagues for just over two hours to Gerlitzen for exciting ski experiences. It is best to wait until about mid-morning to drive on weekdays since commuters create some traffic along major streets in central Salzburg. The walkable town allows you to exercise during an afternoon or evening stroll with loved ones. Nevertheless, many attractions near Downtown and outside the city have considerable distances between them, making it ideal for getting a car rental.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Salzburg?

Austria has a road rule on emergency lanes where drivers move as far-right or left in their respective lanes to form a path down the middle of traffic. Keep this rule in mind since it is compulsory on divided highways and freeways. You cannot overtake when crossing a continuous white line, on pedestrian crossings or while approaching them. Ensure to drive at a walking speed when overtaking a tram and maintain a minimum of space. The road laws also require all kids under 14 years of age to have special seat belts adapted to their size. The regulations also require all occupants to put on their seat belt if the vehicle has fitted belts. You want to mind your drinking during events since the country has a general alcohol limit of about 0.049% for private drivers. Verify with Salzburg’s department of motor vehicles to get any law updates.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Salzburg if I’m visiting from another country?

Many car rentals in Salzburg permit transactions if you have a valid driving license and second proof of identification, typically a passport or ID. You can maybe get yourself a luxury car rental if you are at least 18 years, but most providers incorporate a surcharge with restrictions on selectable car models. The companies accept driver’s licenses issued in EEA and EU countries and do not require International Driving Permits for such travelers. Also, generally you need to present a valid credit card.
