Compare local car rental options in Salzburg, Austria. Check pickup details at Salzburg Airport, vehicle terms and seasonal driving conditions before planning alpine routes through Austria.
Selected pickup city: Salzburg
Salzburg's old town is compact enough to walk, which means a rental car here is really about the Salzkammergut lake district and the Alps beyond it, not the city itself. Hohensalzburg fortress watches over the whole valley, and once you've done the Mozart sites and the baroque squares below it, the mountains are the actual draw.
The fortress is reachable by funicular from the old town, and most of central Salzburg — Getreidegasse, the cathedral, Mirabell Gardens — is easiest on foot. If you're driving, park on the edges and walk in rather than trying to navigate the pedestrian core.
The lake district east of the city — Hallstatt, Wolfgangsee, Fuschlsee — makes for a full day of driving between small towns, with roads that hug the water and slow down accordingly. Hallstatt itself restricts through-traffic in peak season, so check current access rules before setting out.
Winter tires are required by law on Austrian roads in winter conditions, which matters if you're renting outside summer — check what the supplier includes. Mountain passes toward the lake district can close or slow significantly after snow, so build in extra time if you're traveling October through April.
