If you decide to book with them (not recommended), you need to factor in additional 15 min traveling time from their garage to the actual airport.

I would visit Vienna first without a car, say 3 days to explore the city as the transit system is superb. Once finished exploring the city, pick up a car and then go see the rest of Austria/Europe

Make sure you have applicable parking apps installed and public parking places identified. Vienna and Bratislava are both increasingly hard to park at, have a plan. Small cars are a bonus, will fit in spaces European drivers consider normal in size. Pay attention to traffic speed limit changes.
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Vienna
Vienna is not only a wonderful city overflowing with architectural significance and unrivaled musical heritage, it is also nestled in an incredible landscape close to Austria’s most amazing mountains and countryside. Choosing to rent a car during your stay in Vienna will allow you to explore the celebrated vineyards surrounding the capital, nearby rustic rural villages, or even Slovakia’s capital of Bratislava, which is only a one-hour drive eastward.
Vienna International Airport is located 18 km (11 miles) from the center of the city, a drive that normally takes approximately 30 minutes. Assess the best options using KAYAK today and organize your rental car in advance, making arrival and pickup of your keys an easy process. Major global rental companies such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Sixt have counters located on the ground floor (Level 0) of the P4 parking lot, a short underground walk from the baggage claim area.
Ensure that you have an International Driver's Permit (IDP) before traveling to Vienna and renting a car. The IDP is a translation of your US license and can be acquired at any American Automobile Association (AAA) branch office or via an online application. If you are considering a trip to the neighboring countries of Slovakia, Hungary, or the Czech Republic, ensure that you understand the conditions of your rental agreement, as some companies may charge a cross-border fee or require you to advise whether you intend to enter a different country.
Vienna is a busy city and the traffic on the roads reflects this, especially during the peak morning and evening rush hours. It is advisable to avoid traveling between 7 am and 9:30 am in the morning, as well as 4:30 pm and 7:30 pm in the evening, as this is when workers commute throughout the city. You will encounter many one-way streets, especially within close proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage city center, meaning you should use a reliable navigation system or consider using public transport.
Austria is part of two-thirds of the countries that require drivers to drive on the right-hand side of the road. Always give way to trams. One thing you will notice about traffic circles is that most people don’t respect indicators. Therefore, if you are new to the area, be very attentive so that you don’t cause an accident. Additionally, a simple economy or compact car rental in Vienna can help you navigate the traffic faster. Don’t make calls or text when driving cheap car rentals in Vienna. You are only allowed to answer calls using a hands-free device. Violating this attracts a fine of €75.
The local authorities in Vienna use police patrols and traffic cameras to catch traffic violators. Therefore, just because you don’t see traffic police nearby doesn’t mean you can pull stunts on the road. Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit on Highways is 130km/h, Freeways is 100km/h, and residential areas are 50km/h. if you drive above the speed limit, you can be fined between 30 and 150 Euros and even get your license suspended. Driving under the influence has severe punishments in Vienna. Firstly, the blood-alcohol content limit is lower than in most countries, which is 0.05%. Secondly, drivers who’ve had their licenses for less than two years are limited to 0.01%. Lastly, depending on the amount of alcohol in your system, you can either pay a fine of between 300 Euros and 1,600 Euros, driving disqualification, or suspend your license.
Traffic in Vienna is relatively good in urban areas. However, if you step away from the metropolitan area of Vienna, you will experience less traffic. The mountain roads away from the city center are harder to navigate. Thus most people avoid driving on them. The road signs are located to the right. So, always keep an eye out for them.

FAQs about renting a car in Vienna
What type of car is recommended for driving in Vienna?

Unless otherwise indicated, the speed limit within the city boundaries is 50 km/h (31 mph). Smaller streets and those close to the old town commonly have a 30-km/h (18-mph) speed limit posted. On rural roads the maximum speed is 100 km/h (62 mph), while autobahns (highways or freeways) have a speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph).
Where are the best places to park in Vienna?
If you would like to park in central Vienna and be within walking distance of numerous museums, restaurants, bars, and the Imperial Palace, consider using the Museumsquartier underground parking garage, where you pay €2 ($2.30 USD) per hour or €14 ($16 USD) for all-day use. Paid on-street parking is available throughout the city, and you must display your ticket in the form of a voucher which can be collected from tobacconists, ticket offices, and gas stations.

Which safety distances should I know when driving in Vienna?
Always maintain a safe distance of seven to fourteen meters between vehicles. The Vienna area is full of rail vehicles such as trams. Therefore, when you are close to rail vehicles, keep a distance of at least twenty meters behind them.
Are winter tires and snow chains mandatory for Vienna drivers?
Yes, they are especially during winter. All drivers must carry snow chains and use winter tires during the winter season, which runs between 1st November and 15th April. If you are planning to visit during the winter, ask the Vienna car rental company to provide them because not having them can get you a fine of about 35 Euros.
Avoid Sixt at all costs. They will find some hidden miniscule cosmetic damage in a place no one ever looks, and then charge you some exorbitant amount of $$$ for said "damage" (everything starts at four figures with these idiots). This is the worst car rental rip-off business I have not had a pleasure renting from. Will NOT use EVER again.

Car in very good condition, very clean, and added safety options for lane and adaptive speed control. The return of car went fine, but on arrival during normal business hours there was no one in the garage area to immediately process the car.
They scammed me, offering 80 euro per day for insurance

I ordered a Mercedes’ and received a Mazda. When I told the agent this he said there was nothing he could do. So effectively I paid a premium to receive a Mazda instead on a Mercedes’
A representative never showed up at the airport to meet me, they never tried to contact me to say there was an issue, and the phone number given never worked. I called 24 times throughout the day. I ended up renting from Europcar at the counter for three times the price. I think it's a SCAM. I was in Vienna.
