Rent a car without a deposit

The rental car companies in Austria can only guarantee a certain type of car, not an exact make or model. Car rental companies have cars from many different brands in the same category. These cars should have the same features that were confirmed at the time of the reservation. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

Car rental models

You may be able to reserve a specific model in some cases. You will notice a special note next to the vehicle in the search results if such a possibility exists.

You can rent almost any kind of car in Austria, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Austria have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Ford Ka is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Austria. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 13$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 7 Series, price starts at 50$ per day.
Most rental cars in Austria are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The freedom to see sights at your own pace and on your own timetable is a major perk of having a rental car while on vacation. It's nice to be able to schedule your travel whenever you'd like, whether that's at the crack of dawn or after midnight to avoid crowded bus or train times.

Third-party liability insurance is needed by law when renting a car in Austria. Most agencies automatically include this in the price of your car rental.
A Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or theft protection is recommended but not required. If you opt to purchase additional coverage, make sure to include it in your initial booking because the pricing are best when done this way. Check to see if your credit card coverage includes car rental insurance in Austria.
Purchase insurance while booking your car:

Car rental insurance

A rental car typically costs 22$ a day. However, the costs start at 9$ per day and can go as high as 92$ per day. The final price is directly influenced by the category of rental vehicles, the vehicle's features, your age, the date of booking, the length of the rental, etc.
