  • Medium: A top choice when you need something that has a few more features but is still easy to drive. This category includes compact and intermediate models that come with a little extra leg room compared to smaller options.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers the cost you'd have to pay if your Munster car hire is stolen or damaged. While not mandatory, it can be a real lifesaver if something goes wrong. Just remember that not all insurance policies are the same, so make sure you know exactly what's offered.

  • From navigation systems to reverse cameras, the right extras can make all the difference. Weigh up which features could make your trip more comfortable when you rent a car in Munster.

Good to know

  • Age requirements vary by supplier and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Germany may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • If you're bringing the kids along, find out if you need to add a child car seat to your Munster car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • Come prepared to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll generally need your physical driver's license (not a screenshot or digital version) and a second photo ID. Also keep a credit card handy to cover the required excess. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Germany may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Germany is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

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

  • The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Pay by card when it's possible, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't an option.

  • Spend less time looking for a parking spot and more time making the most of Hotel Hüerländer. About 6 kilometres from central Munster, it comes with parking, minigolf and Wi-Fi.

  • Or take advantage of the parking at Novotel Münster City. The city centre is roughly 0.64 kilometres from this stay, which also features internet access and a spa.
