While rules can differ between car rental outlets in Heidelberg, generally the essentials are a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Heidelberg?
People in Heidelberg drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Spend a little extra time familiarising yourself with your car before taking off.

Where can I find a Heidelberg car rental if I am younger than 25?
