Although Innsbruck Airport is quite close to Innsbruck city centre and is serviced by a regular shuttle bus, many people choose to hire a car at Innsbruck airport to give them more flexibility during their stay, perhaps driving up to the ski slopes in winter or joining a more remote hiking trail in summer.
If you looked down from your plane window as you arrived then you’ll have seen the possibilities for trips out in a hire car are almost endless. Prices for collection of Innsbruck airport car hire start from only €15 euros per day when booked online at Rhinocarhire.com.
Innsbruck Airport Mini Guide
Welcome to the Heart of the Alps
Touching down at Innsbruck Airport brings you to the heart of the Austrian Alps, an important seasonal destination for snow fans and mountain hikers alike. It’s good that thrill-seekers like to visit most because the flight approach is notoriously bumpy due to the surrounding mountains! Innsbruck is a nice, compact airport where you don't have to walk miles to get around.
Happy Landings!
The airport welcomes approximately 17 airlines from European destinations and in late 2011 celebrated a milestone of receiving 1 million passengers.
Onward Bound
Innsbruck is known as the gateway to the Tyrol region. You can reach many winter sport resorts within an hour of the airport and readily get to either Germany or Italy. The airport is well connected to the motorway, making car hire a great option. Pick up your Rhino hire car from the desks in main hall (upper floor) and the multi-storey car park (ground floor).
Public transport links are good, with the “F” bus route connecting to Innsbruck train station in approximately 20 minutes. You can opt for a taxi, take a scheduled transfer, or book an individual transfer.
If it's Compact, Does That Mean There are no Facilities?
Absolutely not. This airport is small and very well formed. There are 2 cafes, a restaurant and a bakery, all offering a warm welcome with a wide array of dishes and treats. It's not a shopper's paradise but the airport shop is open 7 days a week and stocks an extensive range. There’s free Wi-Fi and in the arrivals area, a cash machine, plus a travel agency which offers currency exchange. Visiting for business? Try the Executive Meeting Room, or the larger Tirol Lounge.
And Finally
If you ever fancy piloting a plane into Innsbruck, at least two home flight simulator programs feature at this airport.
