Frequently asked questions
Where is Innsbruck Airport?
Just west of the city, in the Alps.
Do I need winter tires?
From November 1 to April 15, you need winter tires whenever roads are snowy, slushy or icy. Chains may be required on some mountain roads, so ask for a car with winter tires.
Can I drive over the Brenner into Italy?
Usually with the rental company's permission, so ask before you book. The Brenner motorway charges a separate toll instead of the vignette.
Can I drive the Grossglockner High Alpine Road?
In the warmer months only; it charges its own toll.
