Major cities in Germany, such as Berlin, have plenty of public transportation. However, if you plan to explore rural or remote areas, castles, vineyards, or the scenic countryside, having a car provides flexibility and access to places that might not be well-served by public transport. In addition, if you're a car enthusiast, the famous German Autobahnen offers a chance to experience high-speed driving on well-maintained highways. There are some trains that can be used to travel between cities, but not all cities are connected by these, making driving necessary in some cases. Renting a car also offers the freedom to set your own schedule, stop at picturesque villages, and visit off-the-beaten-path attractions at your own pace.
Driving in Germany is generally a smooth and efficient experience, especially if you adhere to the country's well-established traffic rules and road etiquette. While some parts of the Autobahnen have no specific speed limits, certain areas do have speed restrictions due to construction zones or other factors. Always pay attention to speed limit signs, especially in urban areas and construction zones. Roundabouts are common in Germany. Vehicles inside the roundabout have the right of way. Always yield to traffic approaching from the left before entering. Cities have designated parking zones marked by color. Always check the parking signs to understand the rules in each area.
In Germany, the minimum age to rent a car varies among rental companies. The majority of rental agencies in the country have an age minimum of 21 years old. However, drivers under the age of 25 may be subject to a young driver surcharge for each day of their rental period. Travelers from most countries, including Canada and the United States and many other non-European countries, do not need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Germany. You will need to provide a valid passport, however, along with your driver’s license from your home country.
