Thank you for sharing! It was really informative and it really helps in our planning for our upcoming trip in May. Can I please ask, what’s your recommendation of car rental? We are planning to go on a road trip around Austria
Sixt is quite a big player in Germany / Austria and always has top notch cars. But at the same time it’s probably one of the more expensive ones. Billiger-Mietwagen.de is also a great alternative. Has often great deals.
While Indian driving licences are technically accepted in Austria, getting a supplementary international driving permit will probably make things easier in case you need to interact with local police/administration, as well as with car rental companies. You will find most road signs familiar, as both countries are signatories to the Vienna convention on road signs, so basically use the same shapes, colours and symbols. But of course you should still familiarize yourself with the driving rules in Austria before hitting the road. If you come from a flat region, a refresher on how to safely drive on mountain roads (particularly when it comes to selecting the correct gear and correct use of the brakes) might also be useful before tackling a mountain pass (or even some of the more remote valleys).
Road maintenance and construction are expensive. Especially when it comes to tunnels or mountain passes. Some sections of mountain roads basically have to be rebuilt after each winter!
love austria!

Thanks for sharing this informative video.
Is Indian driving license accepted, if I have to take a road trip in Austria?
Thanks! It might depend on the car rental company. Some might require an international drivers license. I would suggest to ask the car rental company

Watch out for kangaroos, especially at night time
Hi Khiyati and Puria! Now I know you have a sense of humour :) Just for the record: yes, I am Australian! Hope all is well with you!
Hi Puria I watched some of your Videos. Generally very good. However, Austria has no states, just Provinces.
You’re right! Lost in translation. Thanks
