How old do you have to be to rent a car in Südwest?
Rental car rules in Südwest require drivers to be at least 18. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Südwest?
Generally, all that's required is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental suppliers, so it's always wise to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Südwest?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Germany — the same as in the U.S. Cruising around Südwest won't be exactly the same as home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local road rules.
