Top tips for hiring a car in Berlin
- There is so much to see and do in Berlin, but as a tourist, you’ll want to visit many other unique cities as well, such as Frankfurt, Cologne, and Dusseldorf. Here you can explore local art galleries, hip pubs, and quaint boutiques. To get to all of these places as quickly and easily as possible, you will need a hire car.
- Berlin is the capital of Germany so there are a few airports that tourists can select to fly into. Berlin Tegel is recognized as its main airport, however. With over 20 hire car companies to choose from, you’ll find everything from compact to luxurious sports cars to rent at this airport. Being close to the parking lots, it will be quick and easy to pick up and return your hire car.
- Like many cities in Europe, the streets in Berlin are really narrow. Additionally, there are many pedestrians in the city. To make it safe, there are numerous marked pedestrian crossings in the city center and around. You must stop and allow the pedestrians to cross at these marked locations. This law is strictly enforced in and around Berlin.
- Being the largest city in Germany, Berlin has a large population. Nonetheless, many of its commuters ride the train or bus. So, although rush hour is busier than at other times, it is not as bad as in other big cities. Rush hour takes place during the typical hours: 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Berlin for $54 or less
- Book your rental car in Berlin at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Berlin are around 20% more expensive than airport locations on average

Pros:
Although the name of the representative slips my mind, I could not have asked for a better experience from the employee at Enterprise. He took the time to connect with me about my trip and ask about me all while completing the transaction in a timely manner.7.6 Good

Pros:
everything was very simple and clear. No surprise good surpriseCons:
I booked an Opel Corsa or similar, but the similar was a Hyunday that I found really unpleasant to drive. If I had known, I could have spent even more money for a better car...8.8 Very Good

Jan 2019
Cons:
We returned the car after hours, and were charged a ridiculous amount of money for a small scratch on the rim that we hadn't noticed at pickup. It felt like a scam, it took us months to fight it through our credit card insurance. I will not rent from them again.Avis

Dec 2017
Pros:
LocationCons:
Beware of renting with Budget/Avis outside of the US. I rented a car for the day in Berlin and was charged over $1500 USD in fake damages. The car was checked in in PERFECT condition and they billed my credit card $1523 USD later that day. Sadly, the user reviews about the office in Mitte all indicated the same experience. Wish I had followed the advice to avoid this company, but as a loyal customer, I thought I would be safe. Not this case. I will never use this comany again. To small court claims court we go....9.2 Wonderful

Pros:
ØCons:
Car did not exist. A call was made (no voicemail) from an unknown number at 9pm the night before my reservation. I returned the call several times, only getting an answer at 11am the next day (4 hours before reservation), only to learn that the car was not available. I didn't receive any other notfication -- no email, no voicemail, and no 2nd call. No effort was made to find me an alternative and no compensation was offered -- only to follow up with customer service.6.4 Okay

Pros:
Staff was super fast and ready for my pickup. The car was incredible. We took the BMW X3 and seriously Considering buying this car! So smooth and the features are incredible. Lots of space.7.2 Good
May 2020
Pros:
Overall the experience with sixt was nice - the car was totally new and comfortable. Although I received a premium-class car, I reserved SUV, but not sedan that I have received. That was unfortunate and rather unexpected, given the size of luggage and the quality of countryside road I was going to.Cons:
I would prefer a faster reaction - if sixt can't guarantee even the car class, then I would prefer an immediate cancellation. When I hear that my car is not available at the counter - that's already late for last minute changes.2.0 Poor
Feb 2020
Cons:
I called to Sixt before coming to office and they proved that the car is ready. When I came to the Sixt office Berlin Tempelhof they didn’t give me the car. Moreover they told me that my account is blocked in their system but it is impossible. I had to wait then sent email to their security system and got this response: “ Dear Mr. Povetkin, In reference to your request, please notice that we decided to do not fulfill the reservation mentioned above and so please accept this decision and refrain from further requests regarding this matter”. This is insane and I had to find rapidly another service, that was Europecar and they gave me a car in 5 minutes. Please consider this for further bookings. BR, Dmitriy10.0 Wonderful
