Car Rental in Kraków

Rent a car in western Kraków and gain direct access to motorway A4, which connects Katowice in the west with Rzeszów in the east. The rental location is in the western part of the city, approximately 6 km from Rynek Główny and near large shopping areas. With one rental office on site, this location is best suited for those traveling further along the E40 corridor.

Western Kraków borders Kraków Balice Airport, which is just 8 km away – approximately 12 minutes by car. The area has good access to shopping centers and is popular among business travelers visiting the industrial areas west of the city. Use this location as a starting point for a day trip to Ojców National Park, just 25 km to the north.
