What you should pay attention to when renting a car in Germany

With a rental car you can arrange your route flexibly and according to your wishes. In order for car rental to be a success, you should pay attention to some points.

Check the car before you start with your car rental company and make sure that it works properly and that any damage is documented. In case of doubt, it may be worthwhile to take a closer look and document any damage with the camera. Check the terms and conditions, insurance options and the fuel regulations. A comprehensive insurance without excess is recommended. The most practical solution for filling up the tank is to have a full/full rule: You receive the car with a full tank of fuel and return it in exactly the same way. In order to protect itself in case of damage, the car rental company usually requires a deposit, which is paid by credit card and will be refunded after the return of the car. If you want a second driver, check whether this is possible without extra charge.

If you need a navigation device, a child seat or other equipment, it is best to inquire in advance about the availability and possible fees. These can vary from provider to provider, so it is worth taking a closer look.
