Rent a Car at Poprad Airport (TAT)

Poprad-Tatry airport (TAT) is the gateway to the High Tatras and is located just 3 km east of Poprad city center, about 5 minutes' drive. With 1 rental company on-site, it's a small but strategically important airport for mountain tourists. From here, it's just 13 km north on road 537 to Tatranská Lomnica and the ski slopes in the Tatras.

Strbské Pleso, one of the Tatras' most famous lakes, is 28 km west via E50. Levoča, a beautifully preserved medieval town, is 25 km east, and Spiš Castle is 45 km south along E50. Book your rental car well in advance – with just one rental company at the airport, availability is limited, especially during ski season (December–March) and summer.

An SUV or AWD vehicle is strongly recommended for driving in the Tatras during winter months. Check if the rental company allows driving on the narrow mountain roads that lead to the Tatras' alpine valleys. How close to the High Tatras is Poprad airport?
