Good to know
Age requirements for rentals often vary by provider and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Germany may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.
Travel plans include the kids? Child car seat laws vary from one place to another, and the right setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Confirm whether you need to add one to your Cuxhaven car hire booking.
Bring the right documents to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) and another form of photo ID. Also bring a credit card that can cover the deposit. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.
Driving in Germany may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Germany is 0.05%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) on your trip here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, consider having some cash handy for minor purchases.
