KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Linz

  • Driving a car rental in Linz provides you with the freedom to create your itinerary and travel at your own pace. You can visit multiple attractions in a day, make spontaneous stops, and venture off the beaten path to discover hidden gems.

During winter, road surfaces may be icy or snowy, and visibility may be reduced.

One must be very careful with damages to the auto. You must know it every minor detailed scratch or mark on the car. Upon return they check it with a fine tooth comb and you will be charged for any little scratch not previously noted.
