Planning the perfect Germany road trip
A road trip is one of the best ways to experience a place like Germany. Consider a one-way hire to make the most of your journey — pick up in one city and return in another, with no need to backtrack. This gives you maximum flexibility to see more sights and spend more time exploring.
Germany through a driver’s eyes: general driving tips
With a developed road network, routes in Germany are easy and convenient, connecting major points of interest. Follow the local side of the road. Speed limits are strictly enforced. Watch for toll roads on major motorways and keep some local currency or a credit card handy.
What do you need to hire a car if Germany is on your itinerary?
While Germany has its own local rules that may vary, certain requirements are standard. Use this checklist to ensure a smooth hire experience.
Valid Driving Licence and IDP: Your standard driving licence from your country is the first step. For international travel, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended and often required — especially if your licence isn’t in Latin script.
Minimum Age Requirements: Most rental companies require drivers to be at least 21, and many set the minimum at 25. Drivers under 25 should expect a Young Driver Fee. Some locations may also have an upper age limit (e.g. 75+).
Credit Card for Security Deposit: A valid credit card in the main driver’s name is the global standard. It’s used to hold a security deposit for potential charges such as tolls, fuel or damage. Debit cards are rarely accepted for the deposit.
