Car rental in Klagenfurt

It is a very good idea to explore the city center of Klagenfurt with a hired car, since the many magnificent buildings and monuments are spread all over the city. If you like, you can of course join a guided tour on the weekends, but you will also be able to find your way around on your own thanks to various city guides. An absolute must do, is a visit to the viewing platform, from which you have the possibility to overlook the city from a height of 50 meters, or a visit to the many markets, such as the flea market at the "Klagenfurt Old Town Magic", one of the largest events in Klagenfurt, which is held once a year and turns the whole city into a stage for magicians, jugglers and people on stilts. In spring and autumn you will definitely not be bored in Klagenfurt and with a hired car you can go everywhere on your own.

Due to its proximity to the border, it is worthwhile to make a diversion to Slovenia or even Italy by hired car. However, before booking, please check in the rental conditions whether a trip abroad is permitted or whether extra costs will be incurred. You are also welcome to contact our service team, which will help you with your booking. If you are planning a trip abroad, it is best to enter this in the comment field when you make your booking and our service team will clarify this with the local car hire company.
However, since the traffic regulations in Slovenia differ considerably from those in other European countries, we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the national traffic regulations before driving. For your journey with a car up to 3,5 t, you will need a toll sticker with the designation 2A in Slovenia. A 7-day vignette cat. 2A for about 15 € will probably be better than a yearly vignette category 2A for 110 €. The corresponding vignettes can be purchased either at your automobile club or in one of the "Kompas Shops" in the border area. However, if you want to pass through the Karawanken tunnel on your way to Slovenia, an additional fee will be charged again.

Sitting behind the wheel permanently alone is exhausting! If you would like to put your " passengers behind the wheel", you should decide from the outset for a hired car offer, in which an additional driver is already included. If this is not the case, however, most car hire companies will allow you to book a second driver, whereby you should make sure that he or she does not exceed the minimum or maximum age required by most car hire companies. Letting your passengers drive without a permit can be expensive, especially in the event of a claim, because you have acted with gross negligence at that moment and the insurance company will most likely not pay.
