What happens if I need to cancel my Salzburg car reservation?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Salzburg with Expedia?
Check customer ratings, choose your car class and compare prices from the most popular brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to track down the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Salzburg car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive off with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salzburg?
Salzburg requires drivers to be 18 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Salzburg?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your rental agency to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Salzburg?
About two-thirds of countries around the globe drive on the right-hand side, and Austria is one of them. If you plan to rent a vehicle in Salzburg, remember to drive to local conditions.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salzburg?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then lock in a ride that suits. Whether you're staying in Salzburg or road-tripping about, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fantastic rate.
Where can I find a Salzburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Salzburg outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
