About Renting a Car at Liepāja Airport

Liepāja Airport (IATA: LPX) serves Latvia's west coast with regular connections to Riga and seasonal traffic. One rental company is on-site, making it convenient to pick up a car directly upon arrival and drive the 7 km to Liepāja city center in 10 minutes. The airport is strategically located to explore the Kurzeme region.

LPX is northeast of Liepāja city center at Dārtas iela, surrounded by forest and farmland. From here, it's 7 km to Liepāja's beach promenade and 5 km to the Karosta district. Ventspils is reached in 2 hours (130 km) via Route P112 along the coast.

With a rental car from LPX, you can drive directly to Pāpildes Nature Reserve (45 km north) without needing to detour through the city center. Book your car in advance – with just one rental company, availability is limited during high season. The coastal road north toward Ventspils is narrower but scenic – allow 2.5 hours instead of 2.
