Bike Rental in Vienna: All Options Compared (2026)
Updated
Whether you want a quick ride along the Danube or a full day of sightseeing, here is how bike rental works in Vienna and how to choose the right option.
Bike-sharing vs rental shops
Bike-sharing (WienMobil Rad) is best for short, one-way trips around the centre and is the cheapest option for quick hops between sights.
Rental shops are better for full days, e-bikes, road bikes and child seats, and usually include a lock, helmet and map.
Prices to expect
Bike-sharing typically costs a small fee per ride or a low daily cap. Private shops charge roughly 15-25 euros per day for a city bike and more for e-bikes.
Multi-day discounts are common at rental shops, so ask if you plan to ride for several days.
