Visitors to Hamburg looking to rent a vehicle are recommended to opt for medium to small vehicles such as SUVs, compacts, and sedans. Such vehicles are well-suited for Hamburg’s roads, which, while not small, are not necessarily as wide as the roads commonly seen in cities in the United States. Additionally, drivers will find that drivers of smaller vehicles will also have an easier time finding on-street parking spots large enough for them.
Within the city, the typical speed limit for residential areas is 50 km/h (31 mph), but in densely populated areas with high amounts of pedestrian traffic, the speed limit occasionally goes down to 30 km/h (18 mph). On major urban roads the speed limit ranges from 60 to 70 km/h (37 to 43 mph). On the Autobahn there is often no speed limit, but occasionally there are specific speed limits such as 130 km/h (81 mph).
Parking in Hamburg, like in many large cities in the world, can be a bit of a trial at times in the busier areas.

It is also quite cheap to park at these lots, with rates starting as low as €1.00 ($1.14) per hour.
The average price of fuel in Hamburg is $12.84 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of uel costs between $154 and $205, depending on the car size.
