Road Genius compares campervan rentals across Austria and Europe so you can pick the right vehicle and price.

Vienna is compact but well connected to scenic spots in the Wachau Valley, the Alps and Czech Moravia.

You need a vignette (motorway sticker) before you enter any Austrian motorway. Buy it at border gas stations or online.
The general speed limits are 50 km/h (31 mph) in towns, 100 km/h (62 mph) on rural roads and 130 km/h (81 mph) on motorways unless signs show otherwise.
Vehicles over 3.5 tons must use a GO-Box unit instead of the vignette to pay tolls electronically.
Winter tires are required from 1 November to 15 April when roads have snow or ice. Carry snow chains if you plan Alpine trips.
The blood-alcohol limit is 0.05%. Police perform roadside breath tests.
Vienna has many tram tracks. Cross them at a shallow angle and watch for trams that have priority.
