Good to know
Age requirements for rentals 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 additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And importantly, stick to the right side of the road in Germany.
