Suggested Driving Routes from Germany to Surrounding Countries

Maybe you are flying into Frankfurt and need a one-way car rental from Germany to Switzerland. Or you would like to take a train one way and need a car rental from Germany to France. We even give you the option to take a SIXT car rental from Germany to the UK if you don’t mind crossing a little water. If you need some inspiration, here are some route suggestions to various countries from Germany.

Frankfurt to Zurich, Switzerland

Traveling between these two cities of commerce is easy with a one-way rental. The drive from Frankfurt takes about 4.5 hours and takes you through beautiful Heidelberg and Freiburg. You can also take a slight detour through Basel if time permits.

Berlin to Vienna, Austria

Take the scenic route by driving from Berlin to Vienna. You will pass through historic Dresden, and also through Prague and Brno in the Czech Republic. At the end of the approximately 7.5-hour drive, you can look forward to staring in wonder at all of the architecture in Vienna and, of course, enjoy a slice of Sacher torte.

Cologne to Paris, France

If you’ve ever wanted to drive through Belgium, the route from Cologne to Paris is for you. The 5.5-hour drive will take you through Liege, famous for its waffles, and you will also see some lesser-known parts of northeastern France.

Frankfurt to London, UK

This route is for road trip lovers who don’t let taking a car transport across a channel stop them from getting to another country. The 8-hour drive will take you briefly through the Netherlands, Belgium and a bit of France. You will need to take a car transport at Calais to cross the Strait of Dover and it is best to book your spot and pay ahead of time.

One-Way Rental Rules and Restrictions

Due to insurance regulations and costs for returning vehicles, sometimes there are fees or restrictions with one-way car rental. However, at SIXT we will always let you know while booking if there are any fees or other charges. The one-way fee within the same country or across borders always depends on the destination and vehicle. Simply enter your desired pick-up and drop-off locations in the booking engine at the top of the page and if a one-way rental between the two stations is not possible, you will be notified with a pop-up message. The one-way rental fee (if any) will be added to the total amount payable at the end of the process. For unplanned one-way rentals, we reserve the right to charge an additional fee.
