About Renting a Car at Poznań Train Station

Poznań Główny, the city's central train station, is one of Poland's busiest railway stops and offers 6 rental companies in close proximity for smooth transition from train to car. The station is strategically located in central Poznań, just 1 km from the historic square Stary Rynek. With a wide range of rental companies, you can quickly find the right car for your onward journey.

From Poznań Główny it's just 5 minutes' drive to Stary Rynek and the medieval buildings in the old town. With a rental car you can reach Rogalin Palace with one of Europe's oldest oak forests in about 25 km and 25 minutes south. Wielkopolska National Park with its hiking trails and lakes begins about 20 km south of the station.

Pick up the rental car right at the station and avoid paying for expensive city taxis to your hotel.
