Cheap Car Hire at Berlin-Lichtenberg

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Ask about the specific steps for picking up and returning your car to ensure a smooth rental experience.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Before your trip, check online for available vehicles to ensure you find your ideal car.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Berlin, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

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.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.
