Innsbruck Airport to St Anton after an evening flight: train, car or transfer?
Our flight lands at Innsbruck at 18:40 and we're going to St Anton. What's the best option?
Not your flight? Plan your own Innsbruck arrival.
Plan your own →St Anton is about 75 minutes from Innsbruck by car, and there's a direct train from Innsbruck main station, which you reach by bus F from the airport.
Innsbruck's flights end around 20:00, but several rental desks close well before that, so an evening landing, especially with a snow delay, can leave you without a car.
The answer for this example
Saturday in December, landing 18:40, 2 people with ski bags, car not booked yet

Why this is best
- Every desk has closed when you reach arrivals at about 19:20, but Europcar can hand over a car out of hours if you arrange it before you fly (extra fee, amount not published; we assume about €45).
- Check the car comes with winter tyres or snow chains.
Why not “Pre-booked transfer to your door”? You'd get there 14 min sooner (20:49) and the risk is low instead of some, but it costs €243 more. Our pick balances cost, time and risk.
