KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Balice

  • Choosing to hire a car in Balice is a good option if you’re travelling to Krakow or exploring the surrounding area. 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. You can find some Balice car hire desks inside the main Arrivals terminal, while others are accessed via an airport shuttle.
  • 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.
  • If you are driving around Balice village itself or exploring nearby rural areas with your Balice car hire, you are unlikely to encounter too much traffic. However, main roads heading into Krakow may be busy during rush hour, which generally falls between 8 am and 9:30 am and 4 pm and 6:30 pm. Busier roads include the A4, 7 and 79. 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. You should also drive slowly and carefully on rural roads in cold conditions and keep your phone and some warm clothing in the car with you.
  • Book your car hire in Balice at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Balice are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average

An SUV also gives you more storage space than smaller vehicles, making them perfect for carrying picnic or camping supplies in summer or warm clothing in winter.

On the other side of Balice, there are two car parks on Krakowska Street. Parking in Balice is usually cheap; however, if you park in Krakow, you will usually pay more for central spots.

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!

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.

I had my car pickup scheduled for 5pm. It took few minutes longer to get the luggage. I came to the Avis counter at 5:10pm and it was closed. The airport security guard told me that he saw Avis people close at 4:30pm that day. What?!? I called all phone numbers I was able to find and no answer. I travelled for 36 hours from Sacramento, California to Krakow. I was tored and had to pay extra to take taxi to my final destination and the next day to look for car rental in the city I headed to. Discovery Cars (agent through whom I was connected with Avis) and the Avis counter at the Krakow Balice airport are a pure joke. I will never use their services and I recommend that you don’t use them either.
