If you want a cheap car hire in Friedrichshafen, you won’t need to look beyond a compact vehicle. These offer great manoeuvrability in busy areas and make it easy to park in small spaces. Even though the countryside roads in Germany are well-kept, should you be leaving the city, a larger vehicle is recommended. For example, an SUV has a superior interior, which enhances comfort. This type of vehicle also provides you with better grip and handling, which is useful if you’re driving on rural roads in wet conditions.

If you don’t follow the speed limits in Germany, it’s likely you’ll end up being prosecuted by the police. Driving at the correct speed also helps lower the risk of you being involved in an accident.
