KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dortmund
- Car rentals in Dortmund are an ideal transport option in the city, whether you are alone or traveling with your family, colleagues, or friends. If you are a golf enthusiast, Royal Saint Barbara's Dortmund Golf Club e.V., is one of the must-visit places in the city. With a rental car, you can conveniently move around with your luggage, including your golf equipment. Compared to public transport system, rentals cars give you enhanced flexibility by giving you the option of choosing your own departure times and travel routes.
- Dortmund Airport (DTM) is one of the best places to pick up a rental car, especially if you are new in the city or arriving Dortmund by air. Inside the airport, the counters for all the major Dortmund car rentals companies including Avis, Hertz, Europcar, and Enterprise are located in the Arrivals Hall at Level 0. Renting car at this airport location comes with the benefit of increased chances of getting the specific car type or model you prefer. This is because the location has the largest fleet of cars than any other car rental location in the city.
- When driving car rentals in Dortmund, especially with the city center, you need to remember it is common for pedestrians and cyclists to jump into roads without checking oncoming vehicles. To avoid hitting any of them, it is a good practice to ensure you drive your car at a lower and controllable speed and always keep a keen eye on both sides of the road. If you are driving a rental car in Dortmund accompanied by your kids who are below than 12 years, they must be in a child car seat that is appropriate to their height and weight.
- You are likely to experience difficulties using car rentals in Dortmund during the morning rush hour, which usually lasts from 6:30 am to 9:30 am. During this time, most of the roads in Dortmund experience a heavy traffic jam, with the road most affected being the A40 Highway. A similar situation happens in the evening, with the worst period being between 5 pm and 6:30 pm. Therefore, if you are planning to drive your car on the A40 Highway during any of these times, it is advisable to begin your journey earlier than the supposed time.
- Book your rental car in Dortmund at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Dortmund are around 57% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
Very friendly when arriving close to closing.Cons:
1) Instructions on opening gas tank were wrong. Had to call cousin to look up on internet how to do it. 2) Location is hard to find. Recommend putting picture on internet to help people be able to identify it. And / or mention the HUGE car wash next door. 3) When returning I asked 'How do I get to the airport?' (since the enterprise is not at the airport), answer 'I do not know, you can catch a train down the street or I can call a taxi'. Of course at the airport they had brochures explaining how to get there from the city. These brochures would be useful.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
The car have no insurance, and a standard insurance cost over 400 euro for 10 days. I paid 205 euro for 9 days and they want to charge me at list 400 extra. I never encounter this kind of situation, usually the car is insurred within a 1000-2000 euro, now I should pay 28.000 euro if the car was stolen or full damage. Then a car was a Peugeot, a kind of SUV but actually a small car instead a compact, and with 8-10 liter of petrol consume. Strange choice in Germany for a rental.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Pick-up super-fast and friendly, right in the airport. Great car with low mileage.Cons:
Insurance is a killer - not stated on the quote when I booked the car. 50 euros/day for a compact-sized car - come on people, that's 19,000 euros per year in insurance premiums alone - enough to pay off the full car over less than two years. Unlikely to book with Sixt again if they maintain these killer premiums.2.0 Poor
