Sixt's desk averages 33 minutes at pickup, so settling in for a mountain drive starts with a wait on your feet. 7 of the 12 counters refuse debit cards entirely, making a credit card in the lead driver's name essential.

An Intermediate estate like a Volkswagen Passat Estate costs around $81 a day at Innsbruck Airport in October 2026, which buys the engine power and boot space that mountain driving needs. It seats 5 with room for 4 bags, avoiding luggage on laps across alpine passes. A smaller Compact car like a Toyota Corolla Estate drops to $55 a day but fits only 3 bags, while an Economy car sits at $47 a day. Automatic cars are 61% of cars offered and cost $8 more a day across the year, while electric and hybrid cars are 3% of what is offered, so low-emission options are scarce at short notice.
