Location information for Zell Am See

Introduction

The origins of the Austrian Zell am See go way back. Already in the Bronze Age there was a settlement at the location of the current town. Nowadays Zell am See is mainly known as a ski resort.

Population

The town has approximately 10,000 inhabitants.

Location

Zell am See is located just west of the center of Austria, in a valley between two rivers, the Saalach and the Salzach. The city is built on the west shore of Lake Zell, about 30 kilometers north of the Großglockner. Innsbruck lies about 100 kilometers west of Zell am See.

Economy

Winter tourism is by far the main source of income for Zell am See. Skiers are attracted by the ski runs of the Schmittenhöhe. Although tourists also come to town in summer (golfing, sailing on the lake), most profits are made in winter. Zell am See is also a regional shopping center, partially nourished by tourism. The company Hagleitner, specialized in company hygiene, is headquartered in Zell am See.

Airports

The nearest airport is Salzburg Airport, in a direct line 50 kilometers north of Salzburg, but by road the distance is almost 100 kilometers. By rental car you take the Pinzgauer Strasse (B311) and freeway A10 to the airport. Travel time is about 75 minutes (longer in winter).

Public Transport

From the bus station in the city center, many buses run to several places in the direct vicinity; in winter also to the ski runs. In winter, buses leave at least 3 times per hour and if you have a lift pass they are free. For destinations further out, it's best to take the so-called Postbus. Zell am See has a train station with connections to for example Innsbruck and Salzburg.

Traffic and Parking

In the city center you can often park for free for 30 minutes but after that you have to pay. The rule is applied stringently and the tow-away service is extremely active! There are large parking lots near the ski lifts where you can park your rental car for free, but once the lifts close you cannot leave your car here. To reduce the traffic in the city center, a tunnel has been dug west of Zell am see, the Schmittentünnel, connecting the north and the south of the city. Zell am See is a perfect operating base for trips in the vicinity. You can for example by rental car take the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, go to Salzburg or visit the ice caves of Eisriesenwelt.

Hotels

With over two million stays per year, Zell am See is among the main tourist centers of Austria. There's a large choice of accommodations, especially typical Austrian winter sports hotels. In summer you don't have to book your room in advance, but in winter you absolutely have to as there will hardly be a free room in Zell am See.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
