How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dresden?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence aged 18 and over can rent a car in Dresden. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 18, you can expect extra fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before locking in your ride. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Dresden?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements often differ between suppliers, so it's always wise to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Dresden?
Whether you're staying in Dresden or heading off on a road trip through Germany, you'll be driving on the right side. While this is obviously the same as the States, you will notice differences in traffic rules.

Where can I find a Dresden car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Dresden rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's good to know about this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
