Is it worthwhile renting a car while visiting Munich?

Being one of the most walkable cities in Europe, as well as having a decent public transport system that includes a subway, buses, suburban trains, and even trams, you would think that getting hired cars in Munich would be a waste. This couldn’t be further from the truth. While you can walk around the Munich city centre, a car would make it much easier to go to the suburbs and even neighbouring cities such as Augsburg and Ingolstadt, which are just under a one hour drive away. Here there are plenty of attractions such as the Augsburg Zoo and the Botanischer Garten Augsburg, which is both a local and international favourite. When it comes to parking your Munich car rental, there are lots of parking spaces in and out of the city centre, although most of them are usually pay to park. There are also other parking lots and garages so finding a place to leave your rental cars in Munich shouldn’t be difficult.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind when driving in Munich?

When getting hired cars in Munich, you should have familiarised yourself with the unique laws of the road. You don’t want a traffic violation to ruin your whole vacation experience. With Germany using right-side driving, the right of way belongs to cars on your right. It is also worth pointing out that tailgating is considered a violation, so be sure to maintain a respectable distance to the car in front of you. Policing speed limits are also very strict in Munich, so be sure to maintain the required speed limits depending on the roads you are driving on. In case of any doubts, feel free to check with the German Federal Motor Transport Authority for the latest rule changes.

What kind of driving license do you need to hire a car in Munich?

To get a Munich rental car, you will need to provide a valid license with a clear photo ID. The license shouldn’t be expiring before the end of the rental agreement period; otherwise, you cannot be allowed to rent the car. Foreigners are required to produce their passports, and if you are sharing the driving duties with anyone else, they too will be required to show their driving licenses and passports. The minimum age requirement is 21, and if the driver is under the age of 23, a young driver surcharge will be imposed.

Poor|Aug 2023

We had the WORST rental car experience EVER at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car location in Munich at 315 Landsberger Strasse on 20 Aug 2023. We scheduled to pick up our car at 9 am, but when we arrived the guy rudely told us that there is no car available for us that day. He told us it's our fault for booking a car on a Sunday and that he's not even supposed to be working that day because it's Sunday. We were adamant that this situation is not our fault and that he finds a way to resolve it, which with a lot of resistance on his part resulted in us getting our car at 10:30 am (1.5 hours late). Even more frustrating is that the car that he ended up giving us was sitting outside of the shop the entire time. I even asked him several times if we can have that car. Each time he told us that we can't have the car. For some reason, after an hour and a half of debate and struggle, he changed his mind and gave us the car. He showed no sympathy and continued to insist that it's Sunday and that he shouldn't be working. We ended up missing out on a tour that we had scheduled because of the late rental car. In addition, we were charged much more than what we agreed to per our rental agreement. On the rental agreement, it said the cost will come out to 105 euros. The guy at the counter verbally confirmed this as well. Our credit card statement shows that we were charged 166 euros. We are currently trying to recoup the difference. WHAT A NIGHMARE! We've never had such poor customer service and incorrect charges occur at any other rental car place before. This pompous and rude person at the counter should not be working in customer service where people are just trying to enjoy their vacation. This person should go find another job. On a positive note, there was another employee named Flo (or Floh?) who was really helpful in helping us with directions between our hotel and the Enterprise shop. He wasn't able to resolve the situation with the late rental car because he is just the driver, but he was very sympathetic and at least gave us the feeling that someone cares. Thank you, Flo!

When we arrived the did not have our car ready and said we would have to wait an hour a half for it. Instead they offered us an electric car even though I had reserved a gas one. This electric car was not meant for long road trips as it ran out of power many times and took forever to charge. I spent most of my day at charging stations and it completely impacted my itinerary. I am incredibly disappointed and frustrated. This was not the car nor the experience that I paid for.

The gentleman at Enterprise was very nice and professional, but unfortunately we did not get the car we had reserved. We had asked for. Wagon, but the biggest they had was a 5 series BMW, which was a very nice car, but not really big enough for what we needed it for the following day. The gentleman offered us to check at another Enterprise location, but we did not have time to wait. We returned the car the same day,

The pick-up was easy and the car was clean, but there was a lot of damage on the car. I suspect they charged the other renters for repair, and then kept the money without actually making the repair - multiple dings and dents on the back tail gate. They noted them for the record and, so far, they haven't tried to also charge me for them. When I picked up the care I was surprised to find that they charge 5Euro a day for travel outside the country. They said I could just pay for those days I was outside the country, but when I got the bill, they charged me for every day, even though I was only out of the country for 3 of the 8 days. So, in the end, they weren't any better than any of the other slimy car rental agencies.

Great help from friendly clerk at pick up. Car shifted poorly and lagged to accelerate. Drop off was hard to find at Frankfurt Airport. Google maps shows only rental car return, located at Terminal 2. Attendant at Terminal 2 sent me to Terminal 1. To reach Terminal 1 Rental Car Return, you must drive in the same single lane as ALL other cars going to pick people up on the Arrivals level. There was an airport parking attendant at the round about, letting cars through one at a time, as space became available at the Arrivals level. I, and all other rental cars, had to wait in line with all the other vehicles before we could finally access the Return Area. It took well over 25 minutes, and I watched over 100 cars get let through, 1 at a time, until my turn. I will never rent a car into Frankfurt Terminal 1 again.

I’ve never rented a car that didn’t have unlimited mileage and we went over with Sixt. Just driving from where we picked up the car to where we dropped it off was close to the allotted mileage. The staff at both ends were fabulous. Very kind and helpful.

I wanted to book an electric car, small. I was fooled to believe that the car I booked is electric. I checked the electric tic box, and the agent didn't tell me at all that the car is a hybrid SUV, which has zero battery charge - no ecological values, double the cost for the gas and carbon footprint. The ramp out of garbage is super steep, narrow and curves at the point where the ramps starts - very tricky to get out, danger to get some scratch.

Very bad experience. Few hours before i picked the car, they called and said there is a breakdown. Offered a smaller size car and didn’t change the original price for the car i should get. Promised to provide me with the requested car as soon as possible but for 4 weeks i sent lots of emails and lots of calls but no response or action from budget. Really not satisfied and they took the money. Spoiled my holiday and had to make extra milage dur to that and changed all of my plans. Basically my holiday in germany was ruined because of that

This was terrible. I showed up at the counter, and this rude clerk called Susie tells me, and other customers, that they have no cars for the whole week and that their system is broken. So i start making phone calls and arranging for alternatives, and then a german guy walks in and she gives him a car!! This is unacceptable.

We reserved a midsize SUV for 4 adults and 4 large pieces of luggage. When we arrived, they claimed to have no vehicles at all available, and then “found” a huge 9-seater van. Needless to say, it is not enjoyable to drive such a vehicle around old European towns. The drop-off was equally annoying. The central Prague location has no parking lot or garage, so we were told to find our own parking nearby, go back to get the attendant, and then walk her back to the car. Overall a bad experience that we won’t be repeating.

We were expecting to pay about 300 EUR for the week. When we picked up the car in downtown Munich, we were told that there would be a 300+ EUR charge for taking the car across the border into Austria, and our card was charged for over 600 EUR. We were incensed and the woman at the counter was very unpleasant -- she said that was just was Europcar charged. Given that is was a Sunday morning and we were not at an airport with other options, we still took the car. Upon returning the car, our invoice shows a final payment of about 300 EUR we were originally expecting to pay (which includes a 30 EUR fee for crossing the border) and the 600+ EUR has been returned to our card. We don't know if this was a miscommunication their part, a misunderstanding on our part or what, but we were SO MAD to pay what we thought was an extravagant hidden fee for crossing the border that it tinged the trip for us. The unpleasant woman at the counter in Munich did not do Europcar any favors, nor did she explain what was going on.

Our pick-up location was reserved at the main train station, but when we got there, we found they had moved to another location since April. It would be more helpful if we could be notified earlier, It was raining and we had to look for the new location in the rain and it took some time.
