Good to know

  • Age requirements often vary by provider and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Germany may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • If you're going away with the kids, check if you should add a car seat to your Ingolstadt car rental booking. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to travel.

  • You'll be asked for a few things when picking up your rental car: a valid driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any extra must-haves will be shown in your booking.

  • Driving in Germany might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Germany is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 8am. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and activities. Pay with your card where you can, and keep a little cash when electronic payments aren't an option.
