About 7 km, roughly 15 min without heavy traffic via B8 / Kennedydamm. At rush hour in the Rhine-Ruhr area it can take considerably longer.

Airport desks have longer hours and the widest choice. City branches are often cheaper and handy if you only need the car later in your trip. Compare both options in the search form above.

Many cities in NRW and across Germany have low-emission zones that require the green sticker. German-registered rental cars already have one.

Yes, one-way rentals within Germany are possible with most suppliers, sometimes for a one-way fee. Choose “different drop-off location” in the form.

Book early, compare all suppliers in the search form, choose full-to-full fuel and skip extras you do not need. Prices are usually lowest outside holidays and trade-fair weeks.

Yes. Automatics are widely available, but small automatic cars sell out first. Use the transmission filter and book early.

Your driving licence, passport or ID, a credit card in the main driver’s name and your voucher. Some non-EU licences also need an International Driving Permit.

Most offers in Germany include unlimited mileage, but some have a daily or total limit. The mileage rule is shown in each offer.
