Requirements for Crossing EU Borders from Italy to Austria

  • Authorization

    You must always inform and obtain permission from the rental company of your travel intentions to cross international borders in the hired car prior to the pick-up (at least 48 hours in advance).

  • Insurance

    Additional insurance might be required to drive the rented car across international borders. For updated information, refer to the ‘Protection and Coverage’ section in the specified terms and conditions.

  • Austria Vignette

    A valid digital or physical vignette is required for driving through the Austrian motorways and expressways. Your hired car may or may not be equipped with the vignette; therefore, it’s worth double-checking or inquiring about the same during vehicle collection.

  • Cross Border Fee

    For international trips, there’s usually a cross border fee applied for the convenience of driving the hired car outside the country of rental. This fee (payable at the rental desk) varies from supplier to supplier.

Tips for Booking the Best Cross Country Car Rental

  • It is generally advisable to book your rental car for cross border travel from Italy to Austria well in advance of the trip, and compare prices from different rental companies utilizing our comparison platform to benefit from competitive prices.
  • With the option to add extras such as GPS navigation system, child seats, infant seats, booster cushions, additional drivers, ski rack, snow chains, winter tyres, etc, you can ensure your vehicle is well-equipped for a stress-free driving experience.
  • Review the mileage policy carefully, as different rental companies have different mileage policies. Especially if you plan to drive the hired vehicles across the national borders, it’s worth opting for a deal with ‘Unlimited Mileage’ to avoid worrying about exceeding the mileage limit. 
  • Rent a car for cross-country travel for your preferred duration short (daily, weekend, weekly), or long term (multiple months). Long term car rentals are a more cost-effective option owing to their lower daily prices. 
  • Remember to carry all necessary documents, including your rental agreement, driver’s license, passport, etc, while driving in the rented vehicle for an easygoing and stress-free border crossing experience.
  • It’s worth familiarizing yourself with the Austrian traffic laws and regulations for an enjoyable and relaxed journey without any surprises.
