Cheap car rentals in Saarbruecken
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Saarbruecken
- When you choose car hire in Saarbrucken, you will have the flexibility to explore this German city on your own schedule. Although Saarbrucken has a robust public transport network, trains and buses can get very crowded, especially during the height of the tourist season (June-August), and at peak commuter times. While it is very regular throughout the day, public transport in Saarbrucken is also prone to delays in the evenings. If you plan to go out most evenings in Saarbrucken, hiring a car could save you time on journeys. Opting for Saarbrucken car hire can also help you quickly travel to rural attractions, like the Netzbachweiher hiking area and the Urwald vor den Toren wildlife refuge, which take over an hour to reach on public transport.
- Passengers arriving at Saarbrucken Airport (SCN) can save time and get straight on the road by hiring a car at the airport. Saarbrucken Airport has a range of on-site car hire agencies with offices located directly inside the main Arrivals area. From Saarbrucken Airport, you can drive to the city centre in around 15 minutes, compared with roughly 35 minutes on public transport.
- When you choose car hire in Saarbrucken, you will find that most roads in and around the city are spacious and well-maintained. Driving culture in Germany is generally polite, and people will expect visitors to follow local rules and keep up with traffic flow in the town. If you are driving on the motorways (autobahns) in Germany, it is important that you only overtake in the left-hand lane. The right-hand lane is for slower vehicles, and native drivers don't generally use this lane to pass others. It is also illegal to stop on the motorway for any reason, including running out of fuel. Instead, it is seen as the driver’s responsibility to make sure that their car has enough fuel to get them to their destination, so make sure you top your car up whenever you need to.
- Traffic congestion isn't too much of a problem in Saarbrucken, making the city an excellent place to hire a car. If you do meet heavy traffic, it will generally be during the commuter rush hours, which usually falls on weekdays between 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-18:00. Evening rush hours are not usually as severe in Germany, as many schools and offices operate half-days. This means that the roads also get busy between 12:30-14:00, but also means that the evening rush hour is shorter. Main roads, like the 623 or the 1, are most likely to be congested.

Thorsten, Sep 2020
Pros:
Terrible customer service. They didn’t have a car ready when we got there and told us they’re sold out, despite having the reservation. Was given the option to come back after the weekend. We went with another company, which wasn’t easy given the one way rental to Italy.Cons:
Fire the staff and replace with employees who care. also honor your reservations.keddy by Europcar
