Prices and availability for Krakow come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Krakow's old town is closed or restricted to cars and ringed by paid parking zones, so the car stays outside the walls while you walk the market square and Wawel. The reward comes on the road south, where the Tatra mountains, Zakopane and the Dunajec gorge are an easy drive, and Auschwitz and the Wieliczka salt mine sit within a morning's reach. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Krakow: common questions
Where should I base myself if I have a car?
Stay somewhere just outside the old town with hotel parking, or in Kazimierz where street parking is easier than inside the walls. If the mountains are the main point of the trip, split your nights between Krakow and Zakopane so you are not driving the same road every day.
When is the best time to drive to the Tatras?
Late spring and early autumn give clear roads and open trails. Winter brings snow and heavy weekend traffic to Zakopane, and the road there is a single busy route. Summer weekends are also slow, so leave early in the morning whichever season you choose and check the conditions shown per car for winter tyres.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Krakow, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
