Can anyone recommend a private driver for Austria? We will be staying in Vienna in late October, and would like to see both Salzburg and Mauthausen (possibly not on the same day). In Rick's book he mentions Johann, a taxi driver based in Vienna, but there is no e-mail address for him. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Jan

Afraid to drive on your own?
Not a problem otherwise, and both Mauthausen (near Linz) and Salzburg are easily reached on the freeway. Rent a car through gemut.com, as we did, and you will have a great time at low cost. Our car was a Skoda Fabia, small but roomy trunk area, and I had no need of the GPS which is offered as an add-on.

Thank you so much for your reply, but you are right--I am afraid to rent a car and drive in Europe! I have never done it and am afraid that I wouldn't be able to read the signs or manage the traffic.

Phone a travel agent as soon as you arrive in Vienna and ask your questions. He will probably know Johann. Or another driver.
