About Renting a Car at Warszaw International Airport
Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) is Poland's largest and busiest airport, located about 10 km southwest of Warsaw city center. With as many as 34 car rental companies represented, one of Poland's widest selection of rental options is offered. The airport is the hub for travel throughout Poland and Central Europe.
From Chopin Airport, it takes about 20-30 minutes to drive to Warsaw's Old Town (Stare Miasto) via Aleje Jerozolimskie. Kraków is 295 km south via S7/A1, about 3 hours by car, and Gdańsk is reached in about 5 hours north via A1. With 34 rental companies, price competition is high - use comparison services and book in advance for the best price.
Avoid driving into Warsaw's center during rush hour (07-09 and 16-18) as traffic jams can be long. Motorway tolls apply on A1 and A2 - have cash or a credit card available. How do you get from Chopin Airport to the city center by rental car?
Drive onto Aleje Jerozolimskie heading east, about 10 km and 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Am I allowed to drive the rental car to Ukraine? Most rental companies do not allow driving to Ukraine.
