Top tips for hiring a car at Salzburg Airport
- You’ll find it easy to locate your car hire at Salzburg W.A Mozart Airport (SZG) upon arrival. Once you have collected your baggage and walked through to the car rentals hall, which is signposted well, you’ll be able to choose from an array of agencies. There are two terminals at this airport, but they are directly adjacent to each other, so you do not need to worry about which terminal is better located for car hire.
- With your car hire at Salzburg W.A Mozart Airport, you will be able to reach the centre of the city efficiently in about 20min, which might be a better option than alternative modes of public transport such as bus. Car hire also gives you great access to the rest of the country, with the airport being only about an 8min drive to the A1 and E55 junction which takes you across the border to Germany or to the rest of Austria, respectively.
- One advantage of a Salzburg W.A Mozart Airport car hire is that you get enhanced flexibility with your booking. For example, if your holiday plans change at the last minute, companies such as Hertz and Thrifty provide you with the opportunity to cancel your booking free of charge, providing it is done so a minimum of 48h before the intended pick-up.
- To get the best choice of vehicles to choose from for your car hire at Salzburg W.A Mozart Airport, it is suggested that you arrange your collection for a weekday rather than a weekend. This is because some companies, such as Europcar, do not operate a full service on Saturdays and are closed entirely on Sundays. Between Monday and Friday, you will most likely have a larger selection of cars, with most operating within normal office hours.
- Book your car hire at Salzburg Airport at least 2 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
The car was very good. A recent model, with low mileage on the clock and a high level of equipment.Cons:
The car was booked with Alamo. The details advised me to pick up the car at the Enterprise desk at Salzburg Airport and when I arrived the car was provided by Buchbinder - confusing isn't it. The car was very good. However, I had a minor incident on the road which caused irreparable damage to a tyre . I was able to fit the spare wheel - with a "spacesaver" tyre that had a maximum speed limit of 80kph (50 mph) - and I continued my journey to my hotel. From my hotel I tried to contact the hirer, using the number given on their scanty information pack. Seeing that it was a toll-free number, which can sometimes be difficult from a cellphone, I called from the landline in my hotel room. The number did not work. I asked the hotel receptionist to try the number for me and it did not work. I even tried calling from a public telephone in the street - it did not work! From the internet I obtained the rental desk number for Enterprise and was able to get through. I had hoped to be able to arrange a local replacement of the damaged tyre. However, with my limited German and the desk clerk's limited English and even more limited knowledge of cars I had the greatest difficulty getting her to understand that I had a burst tyre. She suggested I return the car to Salzburg Airport and pick up a replacement (a round trip of about 300km) but finally offered to get someone else to call me back. A man did call, about an hour and a half later, but his English was even worse and we finally agreed that I would just return the car at the end of my stay, using the spare tyre. The journey back to Salzburg on the Austrian autobahn at speeds limited to 80kph was very harrowing, with heavy lorries frequently coming up close behind, flashing lights and sounding horns for me to speed up or get out of the way. Overall I felt very isolated and vulnerable and completely let down by the lack of service from the hire company. Thankfully the burst tyre was only a minor incident. I dread to think of the problems if the incident had been serious. This was the worst level of service I have ever experienced and I will never use Alamo/Enterprise or their associates again.Europcar

Cons:
On Saturday morning there was nobody at the drop-off location. I was supposed to key-in a code at the key drop box but none had been provided on the rental agreement that I could find so I had to e-mail their Vienna office confirming that I had, in fact, returned the car on time. I also noticed that the clock at the drop-off box was an hour fast, which would, I suppose, make it look like cars were returned late when they were returned on time.MEGADRIVE

Pros:
I rented an intermediate Ford Focus or similar from the airport and was offered the BMW Mini Cooper on arrival, which turned out to be really fun to drive and comfortable. The check in process was easy. We were not gouged an exorbitant amount for required insurance. We returned the car right at closing and they let us leave the car for them to process in the morning. We were charged the correct amount without any problems.Cons:

Took forever to get our rental car. There was a new person, her first time working alone, which was not problem. But it was when the computer system crashed, and lost our reservation was the problem.

Pros:
It was a lovely car in good condition, very good value for the money. The lady at the desk was helpful and polite, picking the car up and dropping off were very easy and smooth processes.Cons:
By the time the chap got to us to explain the finer details of the car's workings we had already figured it out.9,6 Wonderful

Pros:
The reservation, pick up and drop off process was incredibly smooth. We were greeted warmly by the rental staff and they were very helpful in answering all our questions. Upon our return I was met in the garage by a very friendly staff person who swiftly guided me through the return process which was accomplished without a hitch.4,4 Mediocre

Cons:
Car was not reliable. Car model is lousy and it is not good on highways. The police fined us for a lack of tag and SIXT did not warn about tags that we must have it around EU. SIXT is irresponsible careless and refused to resolve this problem.Avis

Customer service. We wanted to shorten our reservation to 4 days with drop-off by 12:29 pm July 6. I called toll 1-800# & was told to call local # we rented from. I called there numerous times. each time the woman said she was very busy and to call back later then hung up.many more problems....9,6 Wonderful

Pros:
Somewhat better pricing than other car rental agencies. No problem with picking up in Salzburg and dropping off at Munich airport (i.e.: a one-way rental). Very capable and cordial rental agent in the Salzburg office.Cons:
All European car rentals seem to be insanely expensive, as compared with American agencies. I don't think it's just the higher taxes. A mystery.Hertz
