We collect feedback from drivers who pick up vehicles through 4Drive Austria. These reviews reflect real trips across alpine roads, city centres, and mountain passes. Each booking is handled by local rental companies in Vienna, Salzburg, and other locations - our customers share their experiences here.
Picked up a Suzuki Jimny at Vienna International Airport and drove straight to Grossglockner High Alpine Road. The part-time 4WD handled hairpin turns perfectly. Paperwork at the counter took ten minutes, staff explained winter equipment included in January. Returned the car at VIE without issues. Excellent choice for alpine exploration.
Salzburg Airport pickup was smooth. Drove a Toyota RAV4 to Hallstatt and back, 285 km round trip. AWD system worked well on wet mountain roads in March. No credit card required, paid the balance with a debit card at collection. Staff marked existing scratches on the agreement form. Would book again for our next Austria visit.
Needed a vehicle for Vienna to Graz trip, 200 km each way. Booked online, paid advance on the website, collected from a counter near Innere Stadt. Compact SUV was clean and full tank. Drove A2 motorway without problems. Returned same day, quick inspection, deposit released within three days. Efficient process throughout.
Good experience overall with a Dacia Duster from Salzburg. Drove to Klagenfurt and Carinthian lakes. Vehicle performed well on B-roads. Only issue: vignette not included in the price, needed to explain where to buy it. Staff should mention this upfront. Otherwise professional service, clear voucher instructions, no hidden surprises at return.
Rented a Skoda Karoq for a week-long trip. Vienna to Innsbruck 480 km, then explored Tirol region. AWD helped on gravel forest tracks near national parks. Booking advance paid online, remainder in cash at pickup - exactly as stated in voucher. Local rental company contact number was useful when we had a route question mid-trip.
First time driving in Austria. Collected a Hyundai Tucson at Vienna Airport via A4, 18 km to city centre. Navigation was straightforward. Right-hand traffic and 130 km/h motorway limits clearly signed. Staff checked my licence and explained cross-border permit for a day trip to Slovakia. Professional handover, detailed damage report, fair treatment at return.
Brilliant choice for Salzkammergut region. Suzuki Vitara with AWD tackled steep ascents around Bad Ischl. Picked up in Salzburg, returned after five days. No deposit required worked perfectly for us - increased debit card limit as advised on the website. OMV fuel stations were easy to find. Clear rental agreement, no arguments about wear and tear.
Booked a Mitsubishi Outlander for September mountain photography trip. Vienna to Hohe Tauern National Park, roughly 320 km. Part-time 4WD engaged easily on unpaved scenic routes. Added second driver and child seat as paid options. Voucher contained all details - pickup time, company address, payment method. Everything matched expectations, would recommend 4Drive Austria to friends.
