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
- Compact rental cars in Dortmund are around 35% cheaper than other car types, on average
