Top tips for hiring a car in Vienna
- Vienna is not only a wonderful city overflowing with architectural significance and unrivaled musical heritage, it is also nestled in an incredible landscape close to Austria’s most amazing mountains and countryside. Choosing to rent a car during your stay in Vienna will allow you to explore the celebrated vineyards surrounding the capital, nearby rustic rural villages, or even Slovakia’s capital of Bratislava, which is only a one-hour drive eastward.
- Vienna International Airport is located 18 km (11 miles) from the center of the city, a drive that normally takes approximately 30 minutes. Assess the best options using KAYAK today and organize your hire car in advance, making arrival and pickup of your keys an easy process. Major global hire companies such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Sixt have counters located on the ground floor (Level 0) of the P4 parking lot, a short underground walk from the baggage claim area.
- Ensure that you have an International Driver's Permit (IDP) before traveling to Vienna and renting a car. The IDP is a translation of your US license and can be acquired at any American Automobile Association (AAA) branch office or via an online application. If you are considering a trip to the neighboring countries of Slovakia, Hungary, or the Czech Republic, ensure that you understand the conditions of your hire agreement, as some companies may charge a cross-border fee or require you to advise whether you intend to enter a different country.
- Vienna is a busy city and the traffic on the roads reflects this, especially during the peak morning and evening rush hours. It is advisable to avoid traveling between 7 am and 9:30 am in the morning, as well as 4:30 pm and 7:30 pm in the evening, as this is when workers commute throughout the city. You will encounter many one-way streets, especially within close proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage city center, meaning you should use a reliable navigation system or consider using public transport.

Pros:
Car rental company was great and very helpful. KAYAK reservation was horrible!!! They reserved the wrong class of car for a false lower price!!! I will never use KAYAK again.Cons:
Be aware of KAYAK making wrong reservations to get your business. Never had this issue with competing websites. DO NOT USE THEM.2.0 Poor
Dec 2019
Cons:
they didnt have a car for us, although the fact that we had a reservation. they told us things like "it's not your fault", "what do you want me to do". they told us to call the customer service for finding a solution but the customer service told us that we need to speak with the people in the store. because we already booked hotels in different places we had to find a car, a day after christmas day when all the companies are almost fully booked. it took us 4 hours until we found one, in a different company of course. don't order Budget/Avis (they work together) if you want agood experience.Sixt

only the return location could be easier to access. otherwise it was the most outstanding experience i have ever had in renting a vehicle8.0 Very Good

Pros:
new car, bluetooth, parking sensors, AC, nice infotainment center, easy pick-up / drop-off, good location right at the airport (no need of a shuttle, which is usually the case in US) friendly and courteous staff, price was unbeatable compared to other companiesCons:
need to buy vignettes for different countries (Hungary, Romania), but that is usually the case in Europe; I should have bought a 30-day vignette for Hungary, too, but I bought 2 10-day vignettes, which of course, are more expensive than a 30-day; (it was may mistake, I had rented the car for 10 days, but the vignettes are valid until the end of the 10-th day, not for 240 hours, like the rental car )7.2 Good

Dec 2019
Pros:
affordable automatic carCons:
The service was terrible. we could not find a number to call when we landed in vienna, but after searching the website the # that was listed was offline. We Ubered it to the location (20 min drive from the airport), and when we got there and asked the staff how we were supposed to contact them, they said by phone. When said we had tried, he just shrugged. The staff who was there when we dropped off the car was a lot nicer, but the overall experience with Greenmotion was not great. I would probably not rent with them again.2.0 Poor
