About Renting a Car at Świnoujście Port

Rent a car directly at Świnoujście port and easily continue from the ferry terminal to Poland's Baltic coast. The port is served daily by ferries from Ystad and Trelleborg, and with a rental car you'll be on Usedom Island or in Szczecin (approximately 100 km, 1.5 hours) shortly. Three rental companies are available at the port area.

Świnoujście is a unique city that spans several islands at the mouth of the Oder River, with the border to Germany just a few kilometers west. The center with the waterfront promenade is approximately 3 km from the ferry terminal, and the German town of Ahlbeck is reached in just 10 minutes' drive. Book your rental car in advance – capacity at the port is limited and the summer season is busy.

Drive east along the coast toward Międzyzdroje (approximately 18 km) for nature experiences in the national park. Check whether your rental car is allowed to drive into Germany if you plan day trips to the German part of Usedom. Can I pick up a rental car directly when the ferry arrives?

Yes, the rental companies at Świnoujście port are adapted to ferry schedules, but always confirm the pickup time at booking. Can I drive the rental car to Germany? It depends on the rental company – many allow driving in EU countries but require advance notice.

Ask specifically about crossing the border to Germany at booking. How long does it take to drive to Szczecin? From Świnoujście port to Szczecin is approximately 100 km and takes about 1.5 hours via highway 3.
