Innsbruck is the capital of Tyrol, nestled in the Alps and known for its baroque old town with the famous Golden Roof. It's the ideal starting point for exploring the Austrian mountains in a luxury car. Milan Luxury Cars delivers and collects your car directly in Innsbruck, at your hotel, or at the airport—wherever you prefer in Europe.
Innsbruck's old town is largely pedestrianized, and the surrounding streets are traffic-calmed. It's best to have your car picked up at your hotel, or at a private address, a chalet in a nearby town, or at the main train station if you're arriving by train.
Innsbruck Airport is about ten minutes from the city center, and you can collect your car at the arrivals desk or at a designated location, providing you provide your flight and landing time. Intercontinental flights often land in Zurich or Munich; from Munich, the journey takes about two hours. We can deliver your car to either airport and pick it up wherever you prefer.
Even when leaving the city towards the valleys, you'll often use the motorway, so get an Austrian vignette before taking it. You can also purchase it digitally; if you buy online, check the validity date.
Two routes frequently used by those staying in Innsbruck are subject to a separate toll: the Brenner Autobahn, to Italy, and the Arlberg Road Tunnel, to Vorarlberg. The toll is displayed on signs before the entrance.
Innsbruck is one of the few cities where you can take a cable car from the city center to the high mountains. The Hungerburgbahn funicular, with stations designed by Zaha Hadid, departs near the Congress Center and ascends to the Hungerburg; from there, the Nordkette cable cars continue to the Seegrube and Hafelekar, at over 2,000 meters. In winter, you can ski at the Seegrube with the city below you, and in summer, you can hike along the high-altitude trails.
For this trip, you can leave your car at the hotel. The Bergisel ski jump, on the hill south of the city, also bears the signature of Zaha Hadid: every winter, it hosts a stop on the Four Hills Tour and has a panoramic restaurant at the summit.
About twenty minutes east, in Wattens, the Swarovski Crystal Worlds combine a garden, exhibition rooms, and a large grass-covered head with a waterfall. Along the same road, Hall in Tirol has a well-preserved old town and the mint tower where thalers were once minted. Ambras Castle, on the hills above the city, houses the Renaissance collections of Archduke Ferdinand II.
About half an hour away, the Seefeld plateau is one of the most popular cross-country skiing destinations. The Stubai Glacier, about 45 minutes away, offers year-round skiing. In the Ötztal Valley, about an hour and a quarter away, Sölden is home to 007 Elements, an installation dedicated to the James Bond films. In the summer, Achensee, Tyrol's largest lake, is about 45 minutes away.
Kitzbühel , to the east, is about an hour and a quarter away. To the west, along the Inn Valley, you can reach St. Anton in about an hour and a quarter, and Lech in about ninety minutes, via the Arlberg. We can deliver your car directly to your chalet and pick it up at another location at the end of the week.
In winter, the road to Zürs and Lech may be temporarily closed after heavy snowfall due to avalanche risk. Check the traffic information before setting off and, if possible, travel during the day.
The Brenner Pass is about a half-hour drive south, along the highway that crosses the Europa Bridge. It's one of the lowest passes in the Alps and is open year-round. Beyond the border, you descend into South Tyrol, towards Bressanone and Bolzano, and from there to the Dolomites of Val Gardena and Alta Badia . Cortina d'Ampezzo is about two and a half hours away.
You can pick up your car in Innsbruck and return it in Italy, for example in Cortina, Verona, or Milan. In summer, driving enthusiasts can choose the Timmelsjoch Alpine Road, a toll road open only in summer, which leads from the Ötztal Valley to Merano.
From December to March, an SUV is the most natural choice for the valleys and resorts: the Lamborghini Urus, the BMW X7 40d, the Audi Q7, or the Range Rover Sport. In winter, every vehicle in the fleet comes with winter tires. For a family bringing skis and boots for everyone, the 7-seater Land Rover Defender 110 saves you the hassle of renting two cars.
For the warm season, between Alpine passes and lakes, a Ferrari F8 Spider or a Porsche 911 (992) 4S Cabriolet make the journey more enjoyable. To compare other mountain models, there is the luxury SUV page.
