Cheap Hertz Car Rental in Essen

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

When renting a car in Essen, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Hertz. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Essen, we have car hire deals from 15 suppliers.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.
