Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Karlstein car reservation?
Check over your policy to be certain, but most prepaid reservations will receive a total refund if you advise us more than six hours before collecting the car. There are some exceptions though. Your confirmation will have more information, or just hop onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Karlstein?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication. Or, choose an economy model --- the most popular rental in Karlstein. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a great deal of room. They're especially suited to city exploring. Slipping into tight parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Karlstein?
Karlstein is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the surrounding region. Here are some great options:

  • Vienna is around 105 kilometres from Karlstein. Popular tourist attractions like Schönbrunn Palace deserve a place on your must-see list here.
  • Approximately 105 kilometres away, Linz is also a favourite with wanderers. Set aside time to take in Linz Castle Museum while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this colourful city.
  • Swarowski Crystal Worlds is around 338 kilometres from Karlstein and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Karlstein with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your Karlstein car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Karlstein?
Karlstein requires drivers to be at least 18 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Karlstein?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Karlstein, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Karlstein?
Just like the States, you'll need to stick to the right in Austria. But that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Get familiar with the local traffic laws before you hit the road in Karlstein.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Karlstein?
Whether you plan to stick around Karlstein or discover what's beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Karlstein car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Found a Karlstein outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? That's great! Just keep in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
