Top tips when hiring a car in Germany

➡️ Drive on the Right
Speed limits are in km/h. Stick to the right-hand side — overtaking on the left only.

📅 Book Early
Best deals are often in March. Booking ahead = lower prices and more car options.

🚘 One-Way Rentals
Pick-up in one city, drop-off in another. It may cost extra but saves time on long trips.

🛡️ Stay Safe & Aware
Germany’s roads are excellent — but beware of pickpockets in tourist spots. Learn local rules, especially around emission zones.

Check for diesel restrictions in low-emission zones before you travel.
