You can pre book your self drive car hire which will be waiting for you at the airport when you arrive in Germany. It could also be waiting at one of the local car hire companies depending on where in Germany you decide to travel. Your car rental in Germany will give you the freedom to explore the area in your own time and at a much lower cost than taxis. The local car hire company in Germany will provide you with local maps and driving directions. You could also book a satellite navigation system for an extra cost.
If you are travelling to Germany during the high season period or school holidays we would advise you to pre book your car rental as there is a high chance you would not get the car you desired, if any car at all. In addition to this, if you wanted to book self drive mini bus or people carrier hire, then once again we would definitely recommend you pre book these vehicles as they tend to be in bigger demand and are fully booked on a regular basis throughout high season.
The local car hire company in Germany will need to see the driving licence of all drivers, along with a credit card which they will take an imprint of. This will be used to cover any damages or any extras incurred during the car rental period. Make sure you check the terms and conditions of your car rental contract so you know what you are paying for. This can be viewed online prior to booking and also when you collect the vehicle.
Also find out about your car hire regarding petrol. Some companies provide a full tank of petrol and expect you to return the car with a full tank of petrol and if the tank is not full, you will be charged for the used petrol as well as a small charge for filling the car back up. Other companies provide the car hire with a full tank of petrol and expect you to return it empty so you are basically being charged for a full tank of petrol. This option is recommended for people who are planning on driving long distances so if you are going to be exploring the surrounding areas of Germany, this option would be perfect.
Any optional extras for your car hire should be requested when you are booking the vehicle. These extras could include things such as roof racks, booster seats or baby seats or even the vehicle being automatic. We advise you not to leave this until you arrive in Germany as there is a chance that these optional extras may not be available at your time of travel.
