Insurance and optional extras

Good to know

  • Check each provider's age requirements before booking your car rental in Germany. Rules can differ, and extra charges or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, simply uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' box and enter your age to browse your options.

  • Travel plans include the kids? Child car seat laws vary from one location to another, and the correct setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Be sure to add the right one to your Hagen car rental booking.

  • Make sure you have the necessary documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's license, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • Get familiar with your home. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the right side of the road in Germany.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Germany. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and activities. Use cards when you can, but carry a little cash for places that don't accept electronic payment.
