 Poster: A snowHead

Anyone have experience of car hire at Innsbruck airport? Is it straightforward? Is the rental garage on-site or off-site? Do cars come equipped with winter tyres and chains as a matter of course, or do they need to be specified when you book the car?

It's a doddle. All the usual car hire desks are there just above the main hall, and you just walk from there through to the indoor parking, all on-site, undercover, and very close and handy. Winter tyres will be standard in Austria but you will need to book chains which are usually payable on collection, or at least always have been when I have been there. Leaving the airport you're on the main roads and motorway within a minute or two so it's pretty easy driving.
Is this for Soelden? Drive west and turn left...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks, yes I'm heading to Solden for a few days in December and car hire seems to be the best option for getting there from Innsbruck.

rob@rar, Get the train and bus - easier and cheaper. I think there is a shuttle but whether it's running that early in the season I'm not sure.
There is going to be enough of us there with cars to transport everyone if we need to travel.

Samerberg Sue, unfortunately I can't get there until the Monday as I'm in Zermatt the previous week and need to get back to the UK for a couple of nights before I head out to Austria. Not sure if I fancy hauling ski kit and luggage on train and bus services.

rob@rar, with the airport actually in the center of Innsbruck the train station is a short shuttle bus from the airport, or an even shorter five minute taxi ride. Trains will be very frequent heading in the general direction of Solden (I assume there is a taxi or bus to the resort from the main line station), quite easy and the lugging of kit will be minimal. You might even consider a taxi all the way there which might be cheaper than car hire for the week
