About Renting a Car at Graz Airport Area

The area around Graz Airport offers a complement to the terminal with 2 rental offices located in the commercial area immediately adjacent to the airport. The location along motorway A2 makes it easy to pick up a car and proceed directly onto the motorway toward Vienna or south toward Slovenia. Graz town center is reached in 15 minutes driving north.

The area around Graz Airport in Feldkirchen-Seiersberg is characterized by logistics and commerce, but is close to the Schwarzlsee nature reserve 5 km to the west – a popular bathing lake for Graz residents' summer recreation. Shopping City Seiersberg, one of Austria's largest shopping centers, is just 3 km northwest of the airport. Choose the airport area instead of the terminal if you arrive late and want to avoid queues inside the terminal.

Drive 3 km northwest to Shopping City Seiersberg if you need to shop before your journey. Note that motorway A2 northbound toward Vienna requires a valid vignette – purchase it directly from the rental office. What is the difference between renting at the airport terminal and the airport area?

Rental offices in the airport area may have slightly lower prices but require you to get there by shuttle or taxi, approximately 5 minutes driving.

By car it takes approximately 15 minutes north via motorway A2. Alternatively, bus line 630 runs from the airport to Graz town center in approximately 20–25 minutes. Is there parking available at rental office locations in the airport area?

Yes, there is free parking directly at the offices in the commercial area. This is a good option if you're dropping off a car and flying – parking in the airport area is often cheaper than at the terminal.
