Insurance and optional extras

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could be hit with extra charges or rules. Check the terms set by each supplier before booking your rental in Germany.

  • If you've got the kids in tow, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Schwerin car hire reservation. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • For first-time drivers in Germany, be aware that traffic here sticks to 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.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) on your trip here. As well as your credit and debit cards, consider bringing some cash for minor purchases.
