KAYAK’s 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 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Hamburg are around 7% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Compact rental cars in Hamburg are around 19% cheaper than other car types, on average

Hamburg car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Hamburg 
Verified travelerAug 2024
Make sure you know the rules of the road speed limits for different types of roadways. They vary greatly and I'm very glad I studied before I left on my trip. The road signs are similar, but they are different. Parking is tricky to find so you may have to park a long way away from your final destination. Many towns/cities have pedestrian streets that are in effect during certain times of the day so learn to recognize those signs, so you don't get into trouble. Some cities allow delivery trucks in the morning but not cars. Get full coverage on the car, it is definitely worth it! The roads are narrow, curvy and rarely straight so lots of hazards to navigate. I hit a post and I was very thankful I had taken out full insurance, so I didn't have an issue in a foreign country. Best $80 I ever spent.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Ask to see the car before you sign for it.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Pay attention to the traffic lights, especially the turn signals on the side for walkers and bikers. Be mindful of changing speed limits on all roads. We preferred driving on secondary roads rather than the Autobahn. Having a navigation app with cellular data on your phone is invaluable .

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.

It is also quite cheap to park at these lots, with rates starting as low as €1.00 ($1.14) per hour.

The drop off at the berlin airport wasnt clear. There was no one to ask if that was the right location and we felt uncertain about leaving the car.

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 turned up at the location specified and. NO-ONE was there!!! I walked around the entire parking lot, saw all the SIXT parking spots, but not a single person was there. I attempted to call the number in the email but only got an automated response that gave zero options to speak with anyone. I left a message too and NO-ONE got back to me. Horrible. I’m asking for a full refund of my rental fee at this time
