Car rentals at Innsbruck Airport (INN)

Part of our guide to car hire in Innsbruck.

How to Find Your Car Hire Desk at Innsbruck Airport (INN)

• Book through eCarBookers first: Your booking confirmation from eCarBookers locks in your price and your vehicle class before you arrive. You pay the balance at the desk on collection, and the terms confirmed at booking are the terms you receive. Always confirm your hire in advance to guarantee your price from the moment you collect the keys.
• The airport: Innsbruck Airport is at Fürstenweg 180, in the Kranebitten district, about 4 to 5 km west of the city centre. It has a single terminal building and one runway, so arrivals and departures share the same hall.
• Where the desks are: Airport guides place rental desks in the main hall and in the multi-storey car park opposite the terminal, and one operator describes walking from the main exit across the parking area to a rental centre. The U-Save listing does not state its own desk location or whether collection is at a counter or by meeting a representative, so your booking voucher is the definitive source. Check it before you travel and follow it on arrival.
• Opening hours: Opening hours for this branch are not published on the listing checked. Confirm the hours for your date in your booking confirmation, and check them against your flight arrival time.
• Cross-border travel: Italy lies across the Brenner Pass and Germany is close to the north, and cross-border travel is commonly subject to the supplier's prior authorisation. U-Save's terms for this branch are not stated on the listing checked, so confirm them before you travel if you plan to leave Austria.
• What to bring: The main driver should carry a valid driving licence, a passport, your booking details and a credit card in their own name with a limit high enough to cover the excess hold. Whether an International Driving Permit is needed depends on where your licence was issued, so check the requirements in your booking confirmation.

Pick-Up, Drop-Off, and Refuelling at Innsbruck Airport (INN)

• Returning the car: Follow the vehicle return signs towards the terminal and the car park, and confirm the drop-off point in your booking confirmation. A key drop box for out-of-hours returns has not been confirmed for U-Save, so arrange any early or late return with the supplier before you travel.
• Nearest petrol station: A bp station at Kranebitter Allee 30, 6020 Innsbruck, is listed as open 24 hours a day with Super 95 (E10) and diesel. It is in Kranebitten, the district the airport sits in, but the exact distance from the terminal has not been verified, so allow time for the detour. Check the fuel type on your booking confirmation before you refuel.
• Motorway access: The airport is signed from the A12 Inntal motorway as Innsbruck West/Flughafen, and from the west as Völs Kranebitten/Flughafen. The A13 Brenner motorway joins from the south and carries a separate toll of €12.50 per passage that the vignette does not cover.
• Vignette: The 2026 vignette prices are €12.80 for 10 days and €32.00 for two months. Rental cars in Austria usually include one, but confirm this at collection, because driving on a motorway without one carries a fine.
• Winter hires: From 1 November to 15 April, winter tyres or chains are required when the road is snowy or icy. Ask at collection which tyres the car carries before you head into the valleys, and carry chains for the passes.
• Car park height: The multi-storey car park opposite the terminal is listed with 750 spaces. City car parks in Innsbruck generally allow an entry height of about 2.10 m, so a roof box may not fit.
• Before you drive away: Complete the vehicle condition report at collection, and photograph the car on all four sides, the wheels, the windscreen and the interior. Repeat it at return so that any mark is recorded on both occasions.

Top Car Hire Agencies at Innsbruck Airport (INN)

Car hire at Innsbruck Airport is available through U-Save Car Rental.

Every booking through eCarBookers shows the excess amount and full price before you confirm, and the balance is paid on arrival at the desk.

Getting from Innsbruck Airport (INN) to Key Destinations

• Innsbruck city centre — about 4 to 5 km east, in roughly 10 to 15 minutes. City bus F also runs from outside the terminal to the main station about every 15 minutes.
• Hall in Tirol — about 15 km east, in roughly 18 minutes. The historic salt town has a compact old centre, so park outside the pedestrian core.
• Seefeld in Tirol — about 22 km north-west, in roughly 20 minutes. The road climbs out of the Inn valley, so allow extra time after snowfall.
• Garmisch-Partenkirchen — about 54 km north-west, in roughly 47 minutes. The route crosses into Germany, so confirm that your hire allows it.
• Kitzbühel — about 96 km east, in roughly 1 hour 18 minutes. The drive follows the Inn valley and suits a full day.

How Payment Works for Car Hire at Innsbruck Airport (INN)

A rental prepayment confirms your booking online with Instant Confirmation, and you pay the balance directly to the supplier on arrival. The price and vehicle class shown at booking are the terms you receive, and cancellation is free. The supplier may place an excess hold on the main driver's credit card, so check that the card in the driver's name has enough available limit.
