  • Grab your wheels from Enterprise, star car or Europcar. They're some of the most popular providers in the city.

  • The coverage Enterprise or another company includes with your Rostock car rental can vary, so always check the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge extra for it.

  • Choosing a one-way car rental can be your secret weapon for finding a deal. Simply check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often need to move vehicles from one branch to another, which means you can snag some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Rostock.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.
