The short answer

Düsseldorf is a good place to rent a German premium car: Sixt, Avis, Hertz and Europcar stock BMW 3 and 5 Series, Mercedes C and E-Class and Audi A4/A6, with sports models on request. Expect a higher minimum age (often 25–30), a larger credit-card deposit and stricter cross-border rules.

Who it suits

  • Trade-fair visitors and business travel
  • Weddings and special occasions
  • Long Autobahn journeys in comfort

Age, deposit and licence requirements

Premium groups usually require drivers aged at least 25 (sports cars often 30) with a licence held for 2–3 years. The deposit can run to several thousand euros, so check your credit-card limit. Two credit cards are sometimes requested for the top groups.

Autobahn etiquette

Unrestricted sections exist, but many motorways around Düsseldorf have limits and variable signs. Keep right except to overtake, never overtake on the right, and check the mirrors – fast cars approach quickly.

Our tips

Premium cars are often restricted from Eastern Europe and sometimes Italy – read the terms.

Book early for trade-fair weeks; premium cars go first.
