Car Hire at Krakow Airport – A Complete Guide for Travelers

Krakow is one of the most frequently visited cities in Poland – both by tourists and business travelers. Regardless of the purpose of your visit, renting a car immediately after arrival at Krakow-Balice Airport is a way to save time, avoid stress and gain full mobility from the first minute.

In this article, we will show you why picking up a car immediately after landing is the best choice and what the whole process looks like step by step. And also – what is worth seeing when you have a car at your disposal.

Why is it worth picking up your car at the Krakow airport?

Balice (KRK) is a dynamically developing airport, serving dozens of domestic and international connections daily. If after arrival you plan to quickly get to the city center, to the hotel, or set off on a longer journey - renting a car with MobiCars is a solution tailored to your needs.

The car will be waiting for you when you leave the terminal

Instead of waiting in line for a taxi or looking for a bus stop - you get off the plane and head straight to the car, which our employee will take you to our rental office (literally 4 minutes from the airport - King Parking, where your booked car is waiting for you, fueled, checked and ready to go.

This is a particularly convenient solution if:

• you arrive late in the evening or at night,
• you are traveling with children and luggage,
• you value comfort, independence and saving time.

No need to travel several dozen minutes to the rental office
