KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aachen

  • Aachen Car Rentals offers efficient and more convenient transportation for the travelers who want to connect to different parts of the city. Unlike the city's public transport, the benefit of car rentals in Aachen is that it allows you to choose your own preferred departure times and the most convenient roads to use while driving to your destinations. This is rarely found when using buses because they have fixed departure times and specific routes to be used. With your rental car, you can easily drive to the Rathaus City Hall, which is the prominent site highly visited.
  • If you want to enjoy your self-drive from Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS), you should consider renting a car from the various car rental companies located inside this airport. Budget, Avis, Dollar and Alamo are among the various companies found in the airport that you can rent from. It is located 7 km (4.3 miles) north of downtown. The advantage of picking up your car from the airport is that you will have the option of choosing your car type or model from the various types of cars found in that location that will suit your interest.
  • While driving your car rentals in Aachen, you will drive on the right-hand side of the road and overtake on the left hand. You are also required to be more attentive on the city roads because it is bike friendly and therefore there are a lot of bicycles around. You also need to be more careful while driving because of jaywalkers.
  • You will face difficulties when driving your car rentals in Aachen during the 6 to 9 am morning hours and the 4 to 6 pm evening hours. These are the rush hour times and most Aachen roads experience heavy traffic jams. To avoid facing this challenge, you will have to start your journey well before your scheduled departure time to make sure you don’t face the traffic jams on your way.
  • Book your rental car in Aachen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Premium rental cars in Aachen are around 84% more expensive than other car types, on average

  • Where are the best places to park in Aachen?

These are some of the safe and reliable parking spaces you can park your car. They are open 24 hours a day and charge around €60 (about $70) for 24h parking. Apart from these, hotel parking is another suitable parking option in Aachen. Most of the hotels in this city offer complimentary parking as part of their amenities to visitors. However, despite hotel parking being a viable option, it is unfortunately limited to only those who have booked a room at one of the hotels in the city.

Passport was required to rent the car — although not mentioned anywhere. In result, I had to go back and forth twice. Compact size was unavailable — they gave me “free upgrade”. It’s nice but resulted in increasing the fuel cost. Why couldn’t I just have what I reserved?! They couldn’t find my reservation right away, only after a lengthy search. The mileage was wrong, it’s good I saw it and requested to change to unlimited. The system kept glitching so they had to enter my info over and over several times. Everything took a while, I wasted at least 45 minutes on this rather simple process of renting a car. VERY SLOW!!!

Overall, excellent experience with the exception of billing. SIXT tried to charge me 3X the average cost of the long term rental for adding a single day. The representative who assisted me took the issue up with his manager and the company confirmed a new rate by email. Unfortunately, their main system did not reflect this rate change and, despite multiple calls with assurances from SIXT that they would refund the difference, it took forever to get any refund and this was nearly US$100 less than promised. Very disappointing (and not responsive post hiring). Never again!
