Choosing to hire a car in Balice is a good option if you’re travelling to Krakow or exploring the surrounding area. You can reach Krakow city centre in around 30min with your car hire in Balice, compared with roughly 45min via public transport. Hiring your own car will also give you easy access to nearby attractions, like Krakow Zoo, which is just under a 20min drive from Balice, compared with roughly over 1 hour on public transport. Balice is also a very small village, so public transport may be quite limited.
Balice is home to Krakow John Paul II International Airport (KRK). Passengers arriving in Balice via Krakow Airport will find a wide range of car hire branches available at the terminals. You can find some Balice car hire desks inside the main Arrivals terminal, while others are accessed via an airport shuttle.
Choosing car hire in Balice is one of the best ways to experience all that the area has to offer. If you’re driving into Krakow, be aware that there are several pedestrianised areas in the city centre. This might mean that it is easier to park slightly further out and then explore central areas on foot, rather than driving all the way up to popular attractions. Krakow also has an extensive tram network and trams have right of way, so be sure that you pay attention to traffic signs and tram stops when driving in the city. You should also watch out for pedestrian crossings when driving in Poland; these are quite common, even on busy roads and dual carriageways, and do not always have traffic lights.
If you are driving around Balice village itself or exploring nearby rural areas with your Balice car hire, you are unlikely to encounter too much traffic. However, main roads heading into Krakow may be busy during rush hour, which generally falls between 8 am and 9:30 am and 4 pm and 6:30 pm. Busier roads include the A4, 7 and 79. Poland is also known for experiencing harsh winters, with lots of snow and ice on the roads. If you’re choosing to hire a car in Balice during winter, you may want to ask your car hire company about snow chains for your tyres. You should also drive slowly and carefully on rural roads in cold conditions and keep your phone and some warm clothing in the car with you.

Anonymous, Dec 2025

Standard SUV

I’m well travelled person who rented cars all over the world and I can say that my experience with CarWiz in Krakow was the worst. When I returned the car the guy at the desk told me that I have to wash it before return,moreover to wash it for my cost. So I went to wash it in order to get my deposit back.After that he said I need to wait 20 minutes while he will check the car. They do it deliberately ,as usually customers are late for their flight and can’t wait ,so they probably want to claim some fake damages when customers already left. But I was waiting until it was confirmed that car is fine( I had full coverage anyway , but not from them directly). Deposit was supposed to be 5100zl but they charged me 6100zl. Staff was extreamly rude on drop off, especially the guy who worked there on 12th of December launch time. In front of me he just cancelled the reservation of another couple who travelled from Israel, as they also were not very happy about approach from the desk guy.And those older people had to get back to terminal to make reservation with some other company!!!Now I need to wait 28 days for my deposit to be release , even after it was confirmed that car is absolutely fine. Once you are not polish then you will get from them the approach that we had. I would recommend to stay away from Car Wiz in Krakow airport as its staff have absolutely no knowledge about customer service attitude and approach.
