    Car Rental in Frankfurt

    An interesting and vibrant city brimming with history and culture, Frankfurt is a melting pot of contrasts that's quickly transforming itself from the traditional perception of being a major business hub to a world-class, multi-faceted tourist destination. The city today has no lack of first-rate galleries and museums, chief amongst them the amazing Städel Museum which proudly features no less than 700 years of art under a single roof. The Städel's highlights include Rembrandt's The Blinding of Samson, Jan van Eyck's Lucca Madonna and Claude Monet's The Luncheon. The best of international modern art is well represented at MMK (Musem Für Moderne Kunst) where visitors are treated to the full spectrum of artistic trends from the 1960s until the present day, with works by Warhol, Lichtenstein, Oldenburg, etc.

    For a taste of old Frankurt, head for the city's historic center to marvel at the Römer, a fine collection of 15th-to 18th-century buildings, including the city's original town hall (Altes Rathaus) which face a well-preserved group of half-timbered houses called the Ostzeile. Nearby, on the banks of the River Main stands St. Leonhard’s Church (St. Leonhardkirche), a splendid example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture right in the heart of the city. Beside's the city vibrant Museum District (Museumsufer), Frankfurt also boasts the largest botanic garden in Germany, the 54-acre Palm Garden (Palmengarten), where families with young children can enjoy boating, a children's playground and picnic spots amidst all manner of rare botanical exhibits laid out according to their geographical location. Renowned for its dazzling exterior is the city's strikingly red sandstone cathedral, Dom St. Bartholomäus, which dates back to the 13th century and was the setting for the coronation of Emperors from 1562 until 1792.

    There's much more to see and do in the city's environs and Frankfurt's location in the very heart of Germany makes it the ideal base from which to discover the country's verdant hinterland.

    How old do I need to be to rent a car in Frankfurt?

    If you are considering renting an automobile in Frankfurt, you must be at least 18. Other rental car fees may also be applied if you are under 21, such as a young driver surcharge, which can cost up to $25 daily. Additional drivers can also cost as much as $15 - $25 daily. For more info, follow the link to our dedicated driving age guide.

     

    Can I rent a car without a credit card in Frankfurt?

    You will find that generally it is necessary to have a credit card to rent a car in Frankfurt. When you arrive at the rental counter to pick up your vehicle, you are required to present a valid credit card in the name of the primary driver indicated on your voucher. Additionally, the card must have enough available credit to cover the security deposit. The necessity of presenting a credit card during vehicle pick-up is to enable the local rental agency to secure a hold on the security deposit in case of damage or theft during the rental period. In the absence of a credit card, the rental agency may refuse to provide the vehicle or require supplementary insurance payments. It is important to note that credit cards from additional drivers or cash deposits are not permitted. Although some rental agencies may accept debit cards, this practice is relatively rare. The security deposit will be released from your card upon the return of the vehicle in the same condition as it was when initially rented.

    For information about credit card holds and deposits associated with your booking, you may consult our booking engine by clicking on the blue (i) icon or review your voucher once your reservation is finalized.

     

    What car rental insurance is included in Frankfurt?

    The good news is that when you book a car rental in Frankfurt through the Auto Europe platform, all of our comprehensive packages include the essential insurance mandated under German law, including Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), third-party liability, and theft protection (TP). It is important to note that both the CDW and TP come with a deductible, which is the amount the driver is responsible for in the event of damage or theft. These deductibles may vary depending on the country and the rental provider, and in certain instances, they can be significantly high. Please note that certain suppliers may permit the use of credit card rental insurance, provided you possess it. Should you have any inquiries about car rental insurance in Germany, do not hesitate to contact our rental specialists.

     

    Do I need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in in Frankfurt?

    Travelers with a valid Canadian license looking to rent a car in Frankfurt are not required to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive their rental car. If you plan to drive solely in Germany, you can save a few bucks and skip the IDP for this trip. However, traveling to other countries, such as Austria or Italy, requires an IDP to drive.

     

    Do I need to pay tolls when driving my car rental in Frankfurt?

    No, you generally do not need to pay tolls when driving your car rental in Frankfurt or on German highways (except for a few specific tunnels, namely the Warnow Tunnel and Herren Tunnel, as well as some private roads) because Germany still does not have a nationwide motorway toll system for passenger cars. Therefore, unlike some neighboring countries like Austria and Switzerland, neither will you need to acquire a vignette for driving your car hire on German highways. For more info, please consult our guide driving in Germany.
