Top tips for renting a car in Berlin

  • Cheap car rentals in Berlin are a convenient way for you to not only explore the German capital but to visit other cities in the surrounding region.

You can also head to Dresden, which is around a 2h drive away, or Halle, which can be reached by car in approximately 1h 55min.
  • It’s possible to pick up cheap car rentals in Berlin directly from Berlin Central Train Station, as this station has its own car rental center. Some of the major rental agencies that you can find at this station include Hertz, Europcar, and SIXT. These companies keep their fleets directly on-site, making it easy to grab your vehicle after your train has arrived.
  • Berlin is known for hosting a multitude of annual festivals, which you will want to be aware of, as the city center will often be closed to cars during these events. There is the Festival of Lights, which often takes place in September, as well as Jazzfest Berlin, which normally occurs in November. Many visitors also flock to the city for the Carnival of Cultures, a four-day festival that takes place in June.

Although the name of the representative slips my mind, I could not have asked for a better experience from the employee at Enterprise. He took the time to connect with me about my trip and ask about me all while completing the transaction in a timely manner.

Pros:

everything was very simple and clear. No surprise good surprise

Cons:

I booked an Opel Corsa or similar, but the similar was a Hyunday that I found really unpleasant to drive. If I had known, I could have spent even more money for a better car...

Cons:

We returned the car after hours, and were charged a ridiculous amount of money for a small scratch on the rim that we hadn't noticed at pickup. It felt like a scam, it took us months to fight it through our credit card insurance. I will not rent from them again.
