Rent the best campervans and motorhomes in Austria
It seems like the clocks run slower in the small country called Austria. There is no need for stress during your motorhome rental in Austria because everything is so close to each other. You can cross the country from east to west in approximately 8 hours. The capital Vienna has just about 1 million inhabitants. Otherwise, Austria is pure nature.
The Austrians are not seen as the most cordial people, but if you engage with the typical “Schmäh” (eng. humor) you will be welcomed with open arms.
There are around 600 Camping spots in Austria, you can find everything from simple tent spots to go glamping. At nearly every campsite you can find sanitary facilities, a restaurant or even a small supermarket. Most of the campsites are only open from April until September.
Wild camping in the forest or in natural reserves is only allowed with the permission of the landowner. Wild camping in different parts is dependent on the law in every state.
Camping tourism is especially popular around the lake regions in Salzburg, Kärnten and the Steiermark. A lot of locations have direct access to the lake.
Those that love the mountains will enjoy taking a motorhome hire in Austria to the highest Camping in the Paznauntal in Tirol. Here you camp at a height of 1,820 meters.
Austria has generally an excellent road network. In the mountainous regions, you need to be aware of mountain passes, serpentines and steep slopes. In Austria, you need to pay a toll on the highway. You can buy a road tax disc that is valid for 10 days, 2 months or a whole year, and you can register it digitally. On certain mountain roads, you may have to pay additional fees. You drive on the right side.
