Anywhere Campers InnsbruckInnsbruckView map
Hiring a campervan in Innsbruck puts your starting point in the heart of Tyrol, in the Inn Valley, between the Nordkette range and the Patscherkofel. The Brenner Pass and the Italian Dolomites lie to the south, the Zugspitze and the castles of Bavaria to the north-west, the Achensee and the Zillertal to the east. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, offers everything from a van for two to a six-berth family motorhome.
As the capital of Tyrol, the city sits at the junction of the A12, which follows the Inn from the German border to Landeck, and the A13, the Brenner motorway, which continues in Italy towards Bolzano and Verona.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Innsbruck?
Best time
June to September
June to September
highs 22 to 25 °C, lows 11 to 15 °C
The ideal season to set off from Innsbruck: mountain passes clear of snow, huts and cable cars running, and up to 11 to 12 hours of sunshine a day. July and August draw the biggest crowds, and their afternoon thunderstorms make them, along with May, the wettest months: keep hikes on the Nordkette or the Stubai Glacier for the morning.
April, May and October
April to May, October
highs 15 to 19 °C, lows 5 to 9 °C
Contrasting shoulder seasons: in spring the Inn Valley is in bloom while snow still lies at altitude, and May is the rainiest month of the year. October brings golden larches and quiet roads, but the high-altitude lifts close for the off-season, as do several mountain campsites.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 5 to 12 °C, lows -4 to 2 °C
Winter turns Innsbruck into a ski base, with the Axamer Lizum, Seefeld or the Stubai Glacier less than an hour away, and the Christmas markets of the old town and Hall in Tirol. Nights drop below freezing and snow is frequent: choose a well-heated vehicle and a campsite open all year, and there are some around the city.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Vignette and the Brenner toll
Austrian motorways require a vignette, digital or sticker, for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes: ask the rental company whether it is provided. The Brenner motorway, south of the city, also has its own section toll, paid at the Schönberg toll station or in advance in digital form, and the Italian motorway is tolled beyond the pass. The Brenner main road, free of charge, is slower but more scenic.
Motorway exits closed to through traffic
On holiday weekends, Tyrol bans through traffic from leaving the motorway to bypass traffic jams on secondary roads, around Innsbruck as well as towards Kufstein and Reutte. If your campsite or stop is in the valley, you may exit; otherwise, stay on the A12 or A13. Sections and dates change from one season to the next: check the rules in force.
No wild camping in Tyrol
Tyrol's camping law in principle bans spending the night in a motorhome outside authorised sites, and checks are frequent in Innsbruck's car parks as well as by the lakes. Plan a campsite or an authorised motorhome area every evening; there are plenty in the Inn, Stubai and Ötztal valleys.
Visiting the old town
The historic centre, around the Golden Roof, is pedestrianised and surrounded by paid short-stay parking zones; the underground car parks are too low for a motorhome. Leave the vehicle at the campsite or in a park-and-ride, then take the tram or bus to Maria-Theresien-Strasse and the funicular that climbs towards the Nordkette.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Innsbruck
Where can I pick up a campervan in Innsbruck?
Our partner company in Innsbruck is Anywhere Campers, which has a depot there. The exact meeting point and hand-over time are in your booking confirmation. Arrive well rested: the first half-hour of driving often leads to serious climbs, such as the Brenner or the Zirler Berg, and it is best to have adjusted mirrors and seats before setting off.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Innsbruck?
The amount depends on your dates, the length of hire and the vehicle chosen, from the Van for 2 to the Sunlight A70 for six people. To find out the exact price, mandatory fees included, run a search with your departure and return dates: the offers available in Innsbruck are shown with their conditions and can be booked online.
Can I do a one-way trip from Innsbruck?
Yes: Salzburg, Villach, Linz, Steyr, Graz and Weiz are also departure cities of our partners. Salzburg can be reached through the Inn Valley or via Kitzbühel, Villach through the Felbertauern tunnel, Lienz and the Drava valley. Enter the return city when searching: only the offers that accept it are shown, one-way fees included.
Can I drive to Italy or Germany with a campervan hired in Innsbruck?
The Brenner Pass, on the Italian border, is less than an hour to the south, and Bavaria begins just after Scharnitz, beyond Seefeld. Check in the offer conditions that these countries are covered by the insurance. In Italy, historic centres are often limited traffic zones, marked by a ZTL sign: do not enter without authorisation.
Which motorhome should I choose to leave from Innsbruck?
For the valley roads of South Tyrol and the tight car parks of Hall or Seefeld, the Van for 2, with two berths, is the easiest to handle. Families can choose between the Carado T-447 with four berths, the Adria Matrix M670SL and the Sunlight T 68 with five, and the Sunlight A70 with an over-cab bed for six, with manual or automatic gearbox.

Everything is going online. You can clearly see how far along your applications are. The company handles changes and/or adjustments smoothly. Communication via email is easy, everything can be in your own language, and responses are quick and friendly, and solutions are found, even when KLM reported that they would no longer fly from our starting point. Everything was moved to another city. We are very positive about Cooldrive. We had a request for 3 campers for a total of 11 people.

I asked for a booking reservation for a motorhome that was available on the website and it was discounted on my debit card, and one day later I was informed that the motorhome wasn't available. It was 5 days ago and I still haven't received my refund on my card yet. 2280 EUR.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Innsbruck
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Tyrol?
A campervan or motorhome of up to 3.5 tonnes can be driven with a category B licence; above that, category C1 is required. If your licence was issued outside the European Union, carry an international driving permit, which is also useful in Italy and Germany. The rental company sets the minimum age and years of driving, stated in the offer conditions.
Do I need winter tyres to leave from Innsbruck?
In Austria, they are compulsory from 1 November to 15 April whenever the road is covered in snow or ice, and the Italian Brenner motorway requires winter equipment throughout the cold season. Snow chains may be required on mountain pass roads. If you travel between autumn and spring, check the vehicle's equipment with the rental company.
How do I get to the depot from Innsbruck Airport?
Innsbruck Airport lies west of the city, a few kilometres from the centre, served by city bus and taxi. Many travellers also land in Munich: trains and shuttles reach Innsbruck in two to three hours, and the main station also has trains from Vienna, Zurich and Verona. Let the rental company know your arrival time.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Innsbruck?
There is a campsite in Kranebitten, west of the city, and others on the plateau to the south, in Natters, as well as in Hall in Tirol and the Stubai Valley. Most are linked to the centre by bus or tram. During the summer and the Christmas markets, book your pitch several weeks in advance.
When should I book a campervan in Innsbruck?
With a single partner company and a single depot in the city, the number of vehicles is limited: book several months ahead for July, August and the end-of-year holidays. For June, September or the shoulder seasons, a few weeks is often enough, but small models and automatic gearboxes usually go first.
Are mountain pass roads suitable for motorhomes?
The Brenner, the Fern Pass, the Resia Pass and the Zirler Berg stay open all year to motorhomes, with a very steep gradient on the Zirler Berg. High mountain roads, such as the Timmelsjoch towards Merano, are only open in the warm season, and some Dolomite passes close after heavy snowfall. Check road conditions before setting off.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Innsbruck
Innsbruck lets you choose between three horizons from day one: Italy via the Brenner, Bavaria via Seefeld or the Fern Pass, and the Tyrolean valleys to the east. The Dolomites, the Zugspitze, Neuschwanstein, the Achensee and the Krimml Waterfalls are each one or two stages away. The city itself, with the Golden Roof, the Hofburg imperial palace and the Nordkette reachable from the centre, deserves a day before you hit the road.
Anywhere Campers, our partner company, offers everything from a van for two to a six-berth family motorhome, with manual or automatic gearbox. Salzburg, Villach, Linz and Graz, other departure cities of our partners, open the way to one-way trips across Austria. From June to September, when the passes are open and the days long, the city is at its best for a road trip; in winter, it becomes a base for skiing and Christmas markets.
