Insurance and optional extras

  • Make your trip smoother when you rent a car in Remscheid by adding some handy extras. Think things like a GPS unit to keep you headed the right way, or reverse cameras to park like you're pulling off a choreographed routine.

  • For first-time drivers in Germany, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • In Germany, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you think you'll be drinking, pass the keys to someone else or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) here. In addition to your credit and debit cards, have some cash handy for minor purchases.
