You don't have to deal with the headache and hassle that comes with public transportation thanks to a car rental at Cologne Central Railway Station. Taxi cabs and buses are time consuming, expensive, and bound to rigid schedules, but a rental car in Cologne ensures that you get where you're going quickly, and in the comfort and privacy of your own vehicle. Cologne Central Railway Station is the primary train hub in the area providing local, regional, and international transportation serving approximately 280,000 people daily, with frequent trips to Frankfurt. The station opened in 1859, was rebuilt in 1894, and renovated again in 1957. The Koln Messe Deutz rail station is located nearby as well, but provides far fewer trips and destinations when compared to Cologne Central Station and isn't as frequently utilized. For your convenience you can also pick up a car at the Cologne Bonn Airport if that is an option that would better suit your plans.
