Car rental Tyrol

Nestled in the heart of Austria, Tyrol is a treasure trove of natural beauty and rich history. Mountain peaks touching the sky, valleys stretching as far as the eye can see and a picturesque blend of urban and traditional Austrian architecture combine to form the perfect backdrop for your road trip.

Experience Tyrol by car

• Car Class Recommendations: For the winding Alpine roads of Tyrol, compact or intermediate cars are an excellent choice providing better control and fuel efficiency.
• Mobility: Having a car in Tyrol offers the freedom to explore its beautiful countryside as well as the versatility to fit in city visits at your convenience.
• Driving routes: The Grossglockner High Alpine Road and the Silvretta High Alpine Road are two incredibly scenic drives that you shouldn't miss.
• Traffic Rules: Unlike the UK, Austrians drive on the right-hand side of the road, and roundabouts are navigated in a clockwise direction.

Hints and Tips for the British Traveller

While Austria is part of the EU, it's not part of the Eurozone, which means you'll need to exchange pounds for euros, the local currency. Also, remember to keep some change handy for pay-and-display parking metres in city centres.

Weather and Best Time to Visit Tyrol

Austria experiences a temperate seasonal climate. If you're a fan of winter sports, December to March is the best time to visit. For those who prefer milder weather and to see the Alpine meadows in full bloom, June to August is ideal.

Must-see spots in Tyrol

Interesting cities like Innsbruck and Kitzbühel are just the tip of the iceberg. Don't miss stunning natural places like Achensee and Hohe Tauern National Park, and cultural highlights like Swarovski Crystal World and Ambras Castle.

Country and Its People

Austrians are welcoming folks with a deep-rooted love for their traditions. Tyrol is particularly known for its Alpine culture, charming folk music, hearty cuisine, and festive Christmas markets. Be prepared for a warm "Grüß Gott" (Hello) wherever you go!
