Good to know
Age requirements for rentals often vary by provider and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Germany may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Germany.
