About Renting a Car at Warsaw Old Ochota

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.
