You can reach Krakow city centre in around 30min with your car hire in Balice, compared with roughly 45min via public transport. Hiring your own car will also give you easy access to nearby attractions, like Krakow Zoo, which is just under a 20min drive from Balice, compared with roughly over 1 hour on public transport. Balice is also a very small village, so public transport may be quite limited.
- Balice is home to Krakow John Paul II International Airport (KRK). Passengers arriving in Balice via Krakow Airport will find a wide range of car hire branches available at the terminals.

- Choosing car hire in Balice is one of the best ways to experience all that the area has to offer. If you’re driving into Krakow, be aware that there are several pedestrianised areas in the city centre. This might mean that it is easier to park slightly further out and then explore central areas on foot, rather than driving all the way up to popular attractions. Krakow also has an extensive tram network and trams have right of way, so be sure that you pay attention to traffic signs and tram stops when driving in the city. You should also watch out for pedestrian crossings when driving in Poland; these are quite common, even on busy roads and dual carriageways, and do not always have traffic lights.

Poland is also known for experiencing harsh winters, with lots of snow and ice on the roads. If you’re choosing to hire a car in Balice during winter, you may want to ask your car hire company about snow chains for your tyres.

Pros:
Drop off was easy, car was clean and basically brand new.Cons:
The cost of the insurance was outrageous. We have rented from Sixt in other countries and the cost of insurance (for full coverage) was more than half as much. Not sure what the deal was but the insurance costs 2.5 times the cost of the car itself!2,0 Poor

Pros:
The site is misleading and does not show all complete data. After arriving at the counter we realized that we were being cheated and we had to pay an extra of over 2 times what we paid. Nothing that was listed anywhere on the site.Cons:

Pros:
I did not like how the employee treated me.. nothing to like...Cons:
Basically, this company Sixt treats its clients as prays, wants to make money as much as possible .. they refuse to rent me the car bcs I don't have international driver's license.. I have Canadian driver's license that I use anywhere in Europe every time I travel ... They asked me to pay almost € 100 per day just avoid not having DL.. and they also refused to give me the car without insurance even though I told them that I have my own insurance. and of course they asked to pay more for that... I ended up canceling my reservation with them and renting from a company next to them.. the new company gave me no hard time at all.. no international driver's license and no insurance..Thanks Sixt.. no more dealing with you...6,0 Okay

Pros:
Car was great and I got an excellent price from your website for it.Cons:
Upon picking up my rental from Krakow the Sixt staff proceeded to up sell me additional insurance and explained the insurance I purchased through your website, which was sponsored on the rental confirmation I recieved; Allianz Global Assistance did not mean anything to them. Sixt explained if I did not buy insurance through them I would be personally liable for any damages to my rental and would have to separately/privately file a claim with Allianz. I do not appreciate this not being explained when I booked my car on priceline. I also do not appreciate being sold a $200 insurance only to pickup my car and be sold more insurance. You should train the companies your partner with such as Sixt to have an actual understanding of what you communicate to customers internationally. Terrible overall customer experience.Europcar
