Top tips for hiring a car in Hamburg

  • The top reason to rent a car during your time in Hamburg, aside from joyriding on the Autobahn, is that a vehicle allows you to spontaneously zoom over to any of the city’s neighboring towns and villages. For instance, the port city of Lubeck is just 70 kilometers (43 miles) away and is an easy day trip with a car.
  • If you are landing at Hamburg Airport and are looking to pick up a hire car right away, you can find the various hire car companies in the Arrivals Hall of Terminal 2.
  • Drivers who plan to use the Autobahn should make sure to stick to the appropriate lane, based on their driving speed. Specifically, only use the far left lane if you plan on truly driving fast and passing other vehicles. If at any time you see flashing headlights behind you that means move out of the lane because a faster car is coming up from behind. In general, German drivers expect the slower cars to move out of the way so that faster drivers can keep their pace uninterrupted. Drivers should also note that some sections of the Autobahn do have speed limits, so keep on the lookout for posted signage.
  • Hamburg is one of Germany’s most populous cities and, as a result, it often is bogged down with a dash of rush hour traffic. On an average day, rush hour traffic picks up at around 6:00 a.m. and lasts until 9:00 a.m., while in the afternoon it starts back up again shortly after 4:00 p.m. and hangs around until 6:00 p.m. on most days.
  • Book your rental car in Hamburg at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car in Hamburg

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Hamburg?

    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.

  • What’s the speed limit in Hamburg?

    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).

  • Where are the best places to park in Hamburg?

    Parking in Hamburg, like in many large cities in the world, can be a bit of a trial at times in the busier areas. Fortunately for drivers, though, Hamburg has numerous parking garages and parking lots available throughout its downtown core. It is also quite cheap to park at these lots, with rates starting as low as €1.00 ($1.14) per hour.

  • How much is the price of fuel in Hamburg?

    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.

We rented from the airport in Hamburg and our car was very clean, comfortable, and fully loaded with options, despite booking an economy car. This was a very different experience than the car we received from Europcar at the Munich airport, which came dirty, with a low tire pressure light on, and was the most basic modern car I've ever driven. I paid nearly the same rate for both.

I had a reservation for a compact car at 16:00. Flight was delayed so arrived 20:00 at the counter and was told they only hold cars for 1 hour past reservation time(at an airport rental office where flight delays are not uncommon?). Had to take a larger vehicle and was charged for the difference...
