Book a rental car in Düsseldorf at SIXT branches at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), Dusseldorf City/Train St. 24h, or Dusseldorf Königsallee and customize it with bookable extras to add another level of amazing to your German adventure.
Choose SIXT, rent a car in Düsseldorf, and start exploring with these German driving tips riding shotgun:
-Automatic vs. manual: Unlike SIXT in the US, SIXT car rentals in Düsseldorf offer both automatic and manual vehicles—so doublecheck which type you are reserving.
-Speed limits: The general speed limits in Düsseldorf are 50 km/h (31 mph) within Düsseldorf, 100 km/h (60 mph) outside city limits, and 130 km/h (80 mph) on autobahns and highways.
-Parking: Downtown Düsseldorf has dynamic signage guiding you towards free parking, but these are scarce and most spots are ones you have to pay for. Zone 1 parking is the most expensive, Zone 3 the least. Pay close attention to signs, especially around the harbor and the Kaiserwerth.
-Extra protection: Since credit card and personal car protection policies often have limited coverage in Europe, get extra protection with your car rental in Düsseldorf.
-Buying gas (petrol): Pay at the pump is rare—you usually have to go inside the gas station to pay.
When you decide to rent a car in Düsseldorf from SIXT, you can follow your own itinerary and schedule as you drive through stunning scenery to amazing locales:
-Rhine Tower and Boat Tour: There is ample parking near this observation deck and the docks where you can board a day or evening cruise on the Rhine.
-Schönwasser Park: About a 20-minute drive to the northwest edge of the city, this park offers tranquil beauty after a drive through the city.
-* Day trip to Drachenfels Castle*: Drive about an hour south of Düsseldorf, park, and take the funicular or climb up to this castle to experience centuries-old history and soak in a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.
