Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Heidelberg car reservation?
We understand that flexibility on the road is important. That's why most reservations offer a total refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours in advance of the collection time. You may want to go through the agreement though as there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Heidelberg?
Almost any type you like! We've got a wide range of rental categories, from economy and standard cars to luxury premiums and SUVs.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Heidelberg?
You need to be at least 18. But there are a few age-related rules you should keep in mind before you reserve your wheels in Heidelberg. If you're a younger driver, most rental suppliers will charge an extra fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you're able to rent. This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. Take a few moments to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Heidelberg?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Heidelberg?
If you take the wheel in Heidelberg, you'll have to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Be aware that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission if you haven't driven on the left before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Heidelberg?
You can. We partner with quality companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every square inch of Heidelberg — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Heidelberg car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Heidelberg. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
