KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Linz

  • Driving a car rental in Linz provides you with the freedom to create your itinerary and travel at your own pace. You can visit multiple attractions in a day, make spontaneous stops, and venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems. Also, having a car hire allows you to conveniently travel to various destinations, including remote areas and smaller towns that might not be easily accessible by public transportation. With a car, you can easily visit places like the nearby Salzkammergut region, Hallstatt, Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic, and more.
  • The closest airport to Linz, Austria, is Linz Airport (LNZ), also known as Blue Danube Airport. It is located approximately 12 km southwest of the city centre of Linz. Opposite the main airport terminal in car park K1, you will find the airport’s car hire area where you can choose between six major Linz car hire companies, including Avis, Hertz, and Budget.
  • When driving your car rental in Linz, keep in mind that Linz is a major city in Austria, and its roads can experience heavy traffic, especially during peak hours of 7:00 to 8:00 and 16:00 to 17:00. Congestion and traffic jams may occur, leading to potential delays and frustration. Moreover, like any other place, weather conditions can affect driving. During winter, road surfaces may be icy or snowy, and visibility may be reduced.
  • Linz is a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly city, so it is advised to be cautious of pedestrians and cyclists sharing the roads when driving your car hire in Linz. Therefore, always be aware of designated bike lanes and pedestrian crossings. Linz also has a well-developed tram network, and drivers should be attentive to tram lines and signals to avoid accidents with trams, especially if you aren’t used to sharing the roads with trams.

    For driving in Linz, Austria, the type of car recommended depends on your specific needs and preferences. Linz is a well-developed city with good infrastructure, so most types of cars are suitable for driving in the city and its surrounding areas. Compact cars are ideal for navigating through narrow streets and finding parking in busy areas. They are fuel-efficient and easy to manoeuvre, making them suitable for city driving. Alternatively, if you prefer a bit more space and higher driving position, a small SUV or crossover can be a good option. They offer practicality and are still easy to handle in urban environments.

  • What is the speed limit in Linz?

    The speed limit within urban areas, including Linz city centre and residential areas, is generally 50 km/h. When driving on non-urban roads outside urban areas, the speed limit is typically 100 km/h. However, there may be lower speed limits on certain non-urban roads, especially in areas with more challenging road conditions. It is important to note that speed limit regulations may be subject to change by local authorities, and it is essential to observe the posted speed limit signs.

  • Where are the best places to park my car rental in Linz?

    You will find that in Linz, the central area primarily operates as a short-term parking zone. For long-term parking, you can use the (multi-storey) car parks or opt for free parking spaces located on the city's outskirts. On street parking in Linz city centre will cost you about €2.00 (£1.70) per hour for a maximum stay of 1h 30min or 3 hours, and parking is free on Sundays and public holidays. There are also free parking spaces located in Urnenfriedhof (Freistädter Straße 143) and Ebelsberg (Kremsmünsterer Straße 23), among others.
