The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Innsbruck are: BMW X3, BMW X5, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Suzuki Jimny and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Austria ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Austria are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
In big cities you can also find the so-called "blue parking lots". It is very easy to distinguish them thanks to blue road markings. If you want to use such a parking, you will need a card-timer, which can be taken free of charge in the nearest tobacco shop. It is permitted to leave the car at such parking lots for no longer than three hours.
In the cities of Bludenz, Bregenz, Dornbirn and Feldkirchen you will often see parking lots, where payments must be done through the cashier or special machines. In some other cities you may see parking lots, where payments are made using special vouchers. These vouchers need to be purchased in a bank in advance.
The country’s capital has special parking regulations. Here payment for the use of parking lots will be charged during the period from 9:00 to 22:00. In order to use parking lots in Vienna, you must purchase a special parking ticket called Parkschein. You can buy it at any petrol station or in tobacco shops.
