Getting around krakow is very easy as long as you have navigation or know where you are going. The signs and markings are obviously different from the signs in the US so driving at a pace where you can be ultra aware of surrounding is important. There are a lot of pedestrian crossings in the city so be aware of that.

Verified travelerJul 2023

We did most of our driving in the Kielce area, and that was fine.

Krakow has a lot to offer and what better way is there to explore every nook and cranny of the city than with a rental car? Even though public transport works reasonably well in Krakow, if travelers want to venture out into the scenic Polish landscape, opting for a car provides the opportunity to explore everything from the Ecological Park in the west to the historic site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, which is about a 1-hour drive away.
There are various car rental services at the Krakow International Airport, and a car will get you into Krakow center in about twenty-five minutes. Companies like Avis, Hertz, and Sixt are located in the car hire center at the terminals. To get to Krakow, follow the DK7, which leads to the DK 79 and Krakow’s city center.
Road conditions in Krakow are not always pristine and streets in the Old Town tend to be narrow. Even though road conditions are sometimes poor, it does not stop some residential drivers from racing through at deadly speeds, so always double-check before entering a roundabout or intersection. It is also not advised to leave valuables in the car, especially during the night.
Winters in Poland can be very cold and bring lots of snow, so making sure the rental car is properly equipped; plus, driving carefully and attentively is pivotal. Due to the cold weather, some streets have cracks in them, but as long as you adapt your speed, a smooth ride is still possible. Even if local drivers keep up their high speed, it is advised for tourists who are visiting to slow down considerably and refrain from driving when the weather and road conditions become too severe.
While street parking is available in abundance in Krakow, there are a few things you should know about parking rules in the city. For starters, all street parking spaces are supposed to be paid for whenever your park your Krakow car rental. These charges apply from Monday to Saturday between 8 am and 8 pm, after which you can park your car for free. When parking your car, ensure you get a parking pass from the ticket machine erected on the streets.
If you plan on traveling to Krakow, you should consider getting cheap car rentals in Krakow to help you move around the city with ease. Having a rental car will allow you to check out some of the popular attractions in the city as well as those in neighboring cities. You can check out the National Museum in Krakow and Wawel Cathedral, which are only about 3 miles (4.9km) from the city center, and even visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine, which is 8.7 miles (14km) from the city. You can also explore the city's outskirts and check out River Dunajec and Strzelecki Park, which are about 47 miles (76km) away in the city of Turnow.
Other than Krakow International Airport, there are plenty of other places where you can get cheap car rentals in Krakow. For instance, right outside the Krakow Zablocie train station, you can find a car rental shop. North of the city near Krakow Main Station, there are three more rental shops within a mile radius. With so many rental shops in the city, you can arrange with your rental company to drop off your cheap car rental at a rental shop that is more convenient.

It was really great. I had to extend the rental twice during my trip and there were no issues. They were able to do it quickly and efficiently over the phone. Bartlomiej in Krakow office was especially very helpful.

This location claimed in writing on the rental agreement that their office is "...located on the first floor (of their building). The front door is always open, there is no need to use an intercom." However, when we arrived, the door was not open, there was no way to find an intercom code; just their placard with their phone number next to the closed door. Within a few minutes, someone came up to the door and it wasn't until we saw the "Go" logo on his shirt that we realized he was the representative. He did not introduce himself, but after we all realized what happened, he was very professional and efficient, and we were soon on our way. Upon returning, we were a few hours earlier than our original return time as we had overestimated to allow for any unseen issues. Again, the door was not open and nobody was there. We had to call the phone number and were still not let into an "office". That said, the dispatcher was very quick, did speak English (we were in Poland) and called us back shortly to let us know a representative would be there within 30 minutes. The representative was there within about 15 minutes, and again, very professional and efficient. All this is just to say, customers renting from this location should be made aware that this is not a garage with an office, so they do not experience the confusion that we did, particularly in a foreign country where we did not speak or read the language. Also, the cars are not housed at the location as one would expect. Apparently they are brought from another location as needed and parked on the street outside the "office." None of this is particularly a problem, just that customers need to know what to expect. A big plus, however: this location is very convenient. It is far easier to access than going all the way to and from the airport!
