When you rent a car in Germany, you'll have the opportunity to discover many different places, landscapes and cities. If you decide to rent a car with us, we offer a wide range of vehicles and services. You can find us in all major cities including Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main and Berlin. Our branches are located near train stations, airports and of course outside the metropolitan areas. Once there, you can expect competent and friendly advice at all times. Nimble small cars are particularly useful for city trips. If you're heading out into the countryside, you can rent a powerful SUV.
At SIXT Car Rental in Germany, everyone can find a suitable rental car. In addition to conventional compact cars and station wagons, we also offer SUVs and vans. Those who like it more luxurious can book sports cars or convertibles for their stay. In addition to short-term daily rentals, we also offer long-term rentals at our locations. This gives you complete control and flexibility. Since traveling with a rental car often requires special extras in addition to the standard requests, we also offer you the option of booking add-ons such as navigation devices or child seats.
When you need to drive in Germany, there are a few things you should know. Speed limits within cities are generally 50 km/h and 100 km/h on some roads outside cities. There is no speed limit on the Autobahn, but it’s recommended to drive no more than 130 km/h. You’ll drive on the right and be sure to follow the lead of other drivers and put on your hazard lights and move to the side of the road if in a traffic jam on roads outside cities. Right of way at intersections is the driver on your right, which you must yield for.
The winter months add a romantic layer to the cities across the country of Germany. Whether in Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt or any other city or town, the Christmas markets that pop up in December are filled with hand-crafted items and a reminder of times past. Rent a winterized SUV from SIXT and try to visit as many as you can. For travelers who are staying in a single city, taste the ales and pilsners at beer halls, a staple institution across the country.
