SIXT car rental in Germany

Germany is well known for its driving culture, of which SIXT is a big part, with a century-plus history. Our experience has refined our service, so we can give you access to great rates on top cars.

At every SIXT branch, you’ll find the best car for Germany, whether that’s a compact car for the city or a roomy and powerful SUV for the countryside.

Driving Tips for Germany

  • If you need to change your reservation, you can find all of the information you need with SIXT’s online help center, and SIXT offers conveniences like one way rentals in Germany.
  • If you are not accustomed to standard driving transmission, be sure to reserve a vehicle with automatic transmission in advance to ensure streamlined driving.
  • Germans drive on the right-hand side of the road. Familiarize yourself with the meaning of road sign symbols, which may be different from your home country, and other driving customs in Germany before you head out.
  • In Germany, right turns at red lights are not permitted unless there is a green right turn arrow indicating it is allowed.
  • Obey speed limits, which are 50 km/h (31 mph) in cities and 100 km/h (62 mph) in rural areas. The Autobahn (highway system) has no speed limit, but you should still exercise caution, as it is regulated to keep drivers safe from reckless driving and speeding according to road conditions.
  • Keep right except to pass. If someone flashes their high beam lights behind you, it means they want you to move over.

A car allows you to easily enjoy medieval castles, historic churches, the best charming small towns, and the striking Bavarian Alps.
  • Munich, the capital and largest city in Bavaria, is a fascinating place to visit in Germany, known for historic sites like Asamkirche and Marienplatz and modern architecture at the BMW Museum.

If you’ve booked a car at this place but you’re lost and don’t speak German, I’m here to help. First off, Google doesn’t take you to the right place. It takes you to the old location next to the Europcar. There’s a video screen still on for some reason which makes you think people work there, but they don’t. You want to go inside the train station further to find the new office near the Burger King. You’d think there’d be a sign or something at the old location telling you this, but that would make too much sense. At least the employee I worked with once I figured it out was great and I had a car in no time. When it comes time to return your car, you need to go to Parkhaus am Hauptbahnhof which is on the opposite side of the station you exit and on. I didn’t ask specifically where to go beforehand and it’s not something that’s easy just to figure out. Park back on the 4th floor, drop your keys off at the office, and you’re done. Aside two very confusing steps, the rest of renting a car at this location was great.
