Car rental in Kitzbühel

Getting Around

Car Rental

While Kitzbühel is rather small and walkable, renting a car can make your trip more comfortable, especially if you're planning to explore the surrounding Alpine area. The closest airport, Salzburg Airport, offers several car rental services. We recommend opting for a standard or full-size car to navigate Austrian roads conveniently.

Parking

City center parking is limited, but there are several parking lots and garages around town. Just look for the blue signs indicating "P". Take note, parking is subject to a fee during weekdays.

Attractions and Activities

From skiing and hiking to enjoying a hearty 'Tiroler Gröstl' at a mountainside hut, Kitzbühel is bursting with activities. Visit Swarovski Crystal Worlds, enjoy a ride on a panoramic cable car, or explore the medieval Old Town with its beautiful church and charming boutiques.

Driving in Kitzbühel

Please note the general speed limit in Austria, 50 km/h in urban areas and 100 km/h outside. An international driver's license is also required along with your domestic one. Keep in mind that the use of mobile phones while driving is strictly prohibited unless using a hands-free system.

Currency and Payment

The local currency is the Euro. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's always smart to have some cash on hand, especially if you plan to visit smaller rural inns or bistros.

Climate and Events

Kitzbühel's climate is Alpine, perfect for winter sports. In summer, the town turns into a hiking paradise. Don't miss the Hahnenkamm Race in winter and the Music Festival in summer.
