About Renting a Car at Warsaw Old Ochota

Rent a car in Warsaw Old Ochota and start from one of the city's most charming and well-preserved pre-war districts, about 3 km west of the center. Two rental companies are available in the area, which borders Filtry Park and Ochota Square. The location provides quick access to route 7 heading south toward Radom and Kraków, and highway A2 heading west toward Poznań.

Old Ochota is characterized by distinctive 1930s villas and broad avenues along Grójecka Street. Warsaw Central Station is about 2.5 km to the east and reachable in 10 minutes, while Chopin Airport is 8 km to the south via Żwirki i Wigury Street. Parking in Old Ochota is easier and cheaper than downtown – take advantage of this if you want to explore central Warsaw on foot.

Take Grójecka Street directly to highway A2 for quick departure toward Łódź or Poznań. Book well in advance during Eurovision congresses and trade fairs in Warsaw – vehicle availability decreases dramatically. How far is it from Old Ochota to Warsaw Old Town?
