Salzburg car hires from $124

If you’re planning on driving through Salzburg, especially in the Old Town area, a small, compact car is easier to drive on narrow streets and to park in tight spots. But if you’re heading to the countryside or even crossing the border to Germany, a regular sedan can offer more space and comfort to all the passengers.

The speed limit in urban areas is typically 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour) unless otherwise posted. Keep an eye out for residential areas and school zones. The speed limit on rural roads is 100 km/h (62 mph), and on highways drivers are allowed to drive at a maximum speed of 130 km/h (80 mph).

All of the parking spaces downtown are time-restricted, but the city offers several parking garages and public car parks. Street parking is enforced between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can also leave the car at one of the Park and Ride lots on the outskirts, such as the P+R Salzburg South on route 150 or at the Messezentrum conference center.
