  • You'll have to provide some documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.

  • Driving in Germany might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Germany. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
