KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Darmstadt

  • Renting from Darmstadt car rentals has several advantages over using public transport. Rental cars offer convenience in particular situations, including traveling with pets and family or carrying heavy equipment, including sports gear. You will not have to worry about public transport schedules or route restrictions, allowing you to drive directly to your intended attraction destination without the need for transfers or waiting time. Some attraction sites you can visit using car rentals in Darmstadt include The Roman Forum, Frankfurt Cathedral, and Goethe House.
  • Frankfurt am Main Airport (FRA) is the primary airport serving Darmstadt. FRA has on-site car rental agencies with counters in both of its terminals. Terminal 1 of the airport has its car rental center on Level 0 of Concourse A. You will access car rental counters of Terminal 2 at Level 2 of Concourse D. Most car rental agencies in FRA will rent you a car if you are at least 21 years old, with a surcharge for young drivers applying to those between 18 and 20 years. You must also present a valid driver’s license and credit card whose information matches that of the driver’s license.
  • Using car rentals in Darmstadt requires you to exhibit politeness, as is the city’s driving culture. These behaviors include yielding when appropriate, using headlights in communicating, allowing other drivers to merge, and using turn signals. You must familiarize yourself with the city’s strictly enforced traffic laws, including speed limits and stop signs. Roads within Darmstadt city are generally paved and well-maintained. The city highly respects cyclists and pedestrians. Therefore, you must be cautious and attentive to bike lanes and crosswalks as you must yield to pedestrians waiting to cross.
  • Using car rentals in Darmstadt may get challenging during morning hours from 8 am to 10 am and evening hours from 5 pm to 7 pm due to the heavy traffic experienced. Major roads in Darmstadt likely to experience rush hour traffic include B26 Road, B3 Road, and B449 Road. Instead, you can opt for alternative routes, including L3097 Road, L3110 Road, and L3104 Road, to avoid the heavy congestion during these rush hours. Winter season makes it challenging for drivers in Darmstadt to maneuver the roads due to the icy conditions experienced.
