Innsbruck by car

Innsbruck fits into a narrow Alpine valley where the Inn meets the route to the Brenner, and rock walls rise straight up behind the last roofs. Ski lifts start inside the built-up area, which few places of its standing can claim.

Driving in Innsbruck

Innsbruck is reached by A 12 and A 13. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Streets in the old centre are narrow, a smaller car is easier.

Where to park

Much of central Innsbruck is covered by paid short-term parking zones, so for longer stays the car is better left outside the centre with a tram or bus onward. Short-term parking tickets come from the same multi-language machines that sell daily and weekly transit passes.

Arriving by road

The Inn Valley Autobahn (A12) and the Brenner Autobahn (A13) meet south of Innsbruck, where the A13 ends, giving motorway links towards Munich and Verona. Both carry heavy holiday traffic at weekends in summer and the ski season, and snow makes it worse; Radio Tyrol on 96.4 MHz FM broadcasts traffic updates.

From the airport without a car

Bus line F links Innsbruck Airport in Kranebitten, on the western side of the city, with the city centre.

Frequently asked questions

Austria: which side of the road do they drive on?

On the right. Speed limits are posted at the roadside and differ between towns, open roads and motorways.

Which currency will I be charged in?

Prices are usually set in EUR. The rental company sets both the price and the deposit, and shows them before you book.

Can I drive the car into another country?

Often yes within the EU, but never assume it. Crossing a border has to be allowed by the rental company and usually costs extra, so check the terms before you book.

Where do I park in the centre of Innsbruck?

Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone.

What are the speed limits in Austria?

50 km/h in towns, 100 km/h on open roads, 130 km/h on motorways.

Are the motorways tolled?

Motorways need a prepaid pass, and a few tunnel and mountain-pass sections are charged separately at a toll station — the pass is not needed on those. Payment is by cash or card.

Where can I pick up a rental car in Innsbruck?

At Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof: Hertz. In Gewerbegebiet Roßau: Buchbinder and an independent office. Elsewhere in the city: an independent office. More rental desks are at Innsbruck Airport.
