Hamburg car rentals from $23/day

Visitors to Hamburg looking to rent a vehicle are recommended to opt for medium to small vehicles such as SUVs, compacts, and sedans. Such vehicles are well-suited for Hamburg’s roads, which, while not small, are not necessarily as wide as the roads commonly seen in cities in the United States. Additionally, drivers will find that drivers of smaller vehicles will also have an easier time finding on-street parking spots large enough for them.

On the Autobahn there is often no speed limit, but occasionally there are specific speed limits such as 130 km/h (81 mph).
