Car hire Germany

It's easy to see why Germany is one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. It has a cultural charm unparalleled in most other countries, its beers are among the world's finest and what's more, the country is full of forests and castles that are the legend of fairytales. Given its size and range of options, Germany is best explored by cheap hire car and driving from place to place.

Berlin is the nation's capital and is renowned for its art scene, rich culture and classic buildings such as Nikolaivertel, the longest standing church in the city. Munich also has plenty to offer and the Oktoberfest beer festival needs no introduction, nor do architectural masterpieces such as the Asamkirche and Marienplatz.

With a Germany cheap hire car, drives out to the countryside are well advised. The town of Lübeck has an authentic medieval feel to it, as does Fussen in Bavaria, which is a place well known for its famous castles including the former home of King Ludwig, who notoriously lost his marbles in Neuschwanstein Castle.

When the sun goes down, look no further than the bustling financial metropolis of Frankfurt as it is home to some of the best and most reputed nightclubs in Europe. For sophisticated shopping, head to Hanover and take your pick from the range of plazas and small street shops scattered throughout the city.

With a cheap Germany rental car, trips to the Rhine Valley are popular as visitors take advantage of hopping aboard a luxury boat cruise to then later travel on to the local vine lands in style. In Bavaria, many people frequent the famous Black Forest, which is the base of many famous fairytales, castles and old towns.
