Darmstadt is a busy city with many locals living there. Lots of tourists also visit the city to see the Mathildenhohe district's art nouveau buildings. For this reason, a small car is more suitable for parking and driving in this city. An example of a car you could rent is a Fiat 500 from Europcar. Alternatively, if you want to head into the German countryside, then an SUV is more suitable. For instance, an Opel Crossland X provides you with better grip and handling, which can be helpful if you want to visit the nearby Dommerberg mountain.

You must ensure that you stick to the speed limits when driving in Germany. Otherwise, you may be fined by the police. For example, on motorways, the maximum speed you can go is 130 km/h. On other rural roads, the national speed limit is 100 km/h, whereas when you’re driving in Darmstadt or other nearby towns and cities, you should not go faster than 50 km/h.
