Car Rental Requirements in Austria

  • Minimum Age
    In most countries, the minimum age required to hire a vehicle is 25.
  • Driver’s License
    For bookings with pick-up outside your country of residence, it is mandatory to present the original physical Driver’s License, valid and within the expiration date, issued in your country of origin.
    Some rental companies and government authorities may require, in addition to the Driver’s License, the International Driving Permit, which is mandatory for: Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, and Ukraine and highly recommended for any other country not listed above, especially where the alphabet used is different from the Roman one (for example: Czech Republic, Middle Eastern and Asian countries).
    Obtaining and presenting the International Driving Permit is the sole responsibility of the driver. If the rental company agrees to rent the vehicle without presenting the International Driving Permit, restrictions or additional fees may apply. To ensure a smooth driving experience abroad, it is always recommended to carry a valid Driver’s License and the physical International Driving Permit.
  • ID or Passport
    Each driver must present a valid and original photo ID or passport.
  • International Credit Card
    The renter must present a personal credit card, valid in the country of pick-up with enough funds to put a hold for a security deposit. Third-party credit cards will not be accepted. The car rental company is solely responsible for approving the provided credit card. Online prepayment does not exempt the renter from providing a valid international credit card during vehicle pick-up. The rental company will place a hold in the amount of the security deposit and, when applicable, any additional local fees not covered in the prepaid voucher on the card provided at the rental location.
  • Prepaid Booking Voucher
    You must present a printout of the Booking Confirmation Voucher at the rental location. This document officially confirms all agreed upon services, payment conditions, rates, discounts, as well as vehicle availability within the group selected.
  • Important Information
    Car rental companies reserve the right to refuse service to underage or unlicensed drivers, those with poor credit history or individuals otherwise considered liabilities by the rental company.
