Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same everywhere. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you could be hit with extra charges or rules. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your car hire in Germany.

  • Add a car seat to your Ramstein car hire reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Requirements change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest way to go.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough balance for the deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.

  • Driving in Germany can seem unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the right side of the road.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Germany is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother trip. 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 bank cards, consider having some cash handy for smaller purchases.

  • German is the language most often spoken across the country.
