Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Western Austria
Western Austria — a region worth exploring
Western Austria's Grossglockner High Alpine Road climbs to 2,504 metres, making it the highest surfaced mountain pass road in the country and one of Europe's most celebrated driving experiences. This region spans the provinces of Tyrol, Vorarlberg, and Salzburg, offering a remarkable mix of alpine valleys, glacial lakes, and historic towns. From Innsbruck to Salzburg is roughly 190 km, while the journey from Bregenz on Lake Constance to Innsbruck covers about 200 km — both routes winding through scenery that rewards a slower pace. Landmarks such as the Golden Roof in Innsbruck, the Swarovski Crystal Worlds near Wattens, Salzburg's Hohensalzburg Fortress, and the Krimml Waterfalls — Austria's tallest at 380 metres — give you plenty of reasons to stop and explore. Mountain passes and narrow valley roads are well maintained, though some higher routes close seasonally, so planning your itinerary matters. A campervan is ideal for threading through tighter alpine villages, while a motorhome gives you extra comfort on longer tours between provinces. With Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across western Austria, choosing from a wide variety of vehicles to match your group size and travel style. This peer-to-peer approach often means more flexible pick-up points and competitive pricing compared to traditional hire, letting you start your trip closer to the mountains.
Best time to visit
June to September is the prime window for a campervan trip through western Austria, when high alpine roads like the Grossglockner are fully open and campsites across Tyrol and Salzburg operate at full capacity. The Salzburg Festival runs from mid-July to late August, drawing music lovers from around the world — worth timing your route around. Autumn brings golden larch forests and quieter roads, while late May offers wildflower meadows before the summer rush. Hiring through Yescapa during shoulder months can mean lower rates from local owners, giving you more budget for toll roads and mountain experiences.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Western Austria
Western Austria uses a motorway vignette system — you need a digital vignette (available online) for all motorways and expressways. Special tolls apply on alpine routes like the Arlberg Tunnel and the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes use a GO-Box instead, charged per kilometre. Speed limits on motorways are 130 km/h for cars, but vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are restricted to 80 km/h. Mountain passes often have gradient warnings and hairpin bends, so keep your speed in check and use lower gears on descents.
Frequently asked questions
Prices on Yescapa for a campervan in western Austria typically start from around €70–€90 per day in the shoulder season, rising to €100–€140 per day during July and August. Because you are hiring directly from local owners through our peer-to-peer platform, rates can be more competitive than traditional hire companies. Costs vary depending on vehicle size, age, and included extras like bedding or kitchen equipment.
On Yescapa, local owners list their motorhomes across western Austria, so you can often arrange collection in or near Innsbruck, Salzburg, or Bregenz — the region's three main cities. Some owners are based in smaller towns like Zell am See or Bludenz, which can be handy if you want to start your trip closer to the mountains without a long initial drive.
Booking through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform is a great way to keep costs down, as private owners often set lower rates than large hire fleets. Travelling in June or September rather than peak summer helps too. Use the filters on Yescapa to compare vehicles by price, and look for owners offering weekly discounts — many reduce the daily rate for hires of seven days or more.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan with two berths is perfect for navigating narrow alpine passes and parking in smaller villages. Families of four or five are well served by a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion. If you plan to tackle mountain roads like the Grossglockner, a shorter-wheelbase vehicle is easier to handle on tight hairpins.
Yes — a number of owners on Yescapa welcome pets in their vehicles. You can filter listings specifically for dog-friendly campervans and motorhomes when searching western Austria. Many campsites in Tyrol and Salzburg also accept dogs, though leads are usually required. It is worth confirming any pet deposit or cleaning fee with the owner before you book.
