Driving Tips for Salzburg
If you rent a car in Salzburg, you’ll have access to everything this beautiful city has to offer. Keep the following in mind for an easy drive:
- Parking: Parking in the city center can be challenging, as signage is unclear, and spots are limited. It’s best to park at a Park + Ride lot on the outskirts and take public transport into the city.
- Road conditions: Salzburg is nestled in the mountains. The roads in the area are generally in good condition, but if you leave the city itself you will encounter many narrow and winding roads.
- Toll roads: All of the highways in Austria are toll roads, but they are cashless and require a vignette, or a prepaid sticker on the windshield. Ask about our prepaid toll program for more information.
- Speed limits: Within the city of Salzburg, you will need to drive at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph), while outside the city the speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph).
Best places to visit in and around Salzburg

- Mozart’s birthplace: The birthplace of this famous composer is located in the heart of the city at Getreidegasse 9 and now serves as a museum in his honor.
- Day trip to the Eagle’s Nest: The Eagle’s Nest, Hitler’s former vacation spot, is just a 45-minute drive across the border into Germany. Here, you’ll find plenty of hiking and gorgeous scenery, as well as a restaurant and other attractions.

The customer service agent Ramzy was super efficient and professional. He is a credit to the company. Unlike previous experiences with other companies, Ramzy took the time to clearly explain everything. We weren't pressured into buying extras that we didn't need.
He knows his stuff - and spoke German and English equally fluently. All in all a stress-free experience.

Went there for exchanging a car picked up from Freilassing. The person at the branch was very helpful and willing to help us however possible. Unfortunately there were no cars that suited our needs but they called another nearby branch and helped us get a car.
