Cheap Car Hire at Berlin

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

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. At Berlin, we have car hire deals from suppliers. Among them Sixt has a rating of 4.6, Eco by Europcar has a rating of 4.6 and Europcar has a rating of 4.5.

Inquire about any additional fees, such as airport surcharges or insurance costs, to budget accordingly.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

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.

If you don’t find the right car hire at Berlin, there may be more options in Berlin city, which can sometimes be more affordable. However, remember to factor in the additional cost of transportation from the airport to the city, which could offset any savings.

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.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.
