Good to know

  • Check each provider's age requirements before booking your car rental in Germany. Rules can differ, and added costs or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, simply uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.

  • Bringing the kids with you? Child car seat laws differ from place to place, and the right setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Make sure you add the right one to your Regensburg car rental reservation.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when collecting your rental car: an official driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card to cover the deposit amount. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.

  • Driving in Germany can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.

  • In Germany, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you think you'll be drinking, leave the driving to someone else or use public transport instead.

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

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Use cards when it's convenient, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't possible.
