Car rental in Essen is ideal for anyone who wants to travel at their own speed. If you are only driving in Essen and nearby cities, then you won’t need much more than a compact vehicle. These help you to park in tight spaces and also make manoeuvring easier. Whilst the roads in Germany are very good throughout, if you’re going on a longer journey, you might want to boost your comfort with a larger vehicle. For example, an SUV provides you with extra space and a luxurious interior.

It’s important that you follow the speed limits when you are driving in Germany, otherwise you might be prosecuted by local authorities. There are also lots of speed cameras in the city. If you are flashed by a camera, your car hire agency will be informed, and they will charge your account and pass your information over to the police. In the city, the upper speed limit is 50 km/h. On country roads, you can’t go faster than 100 km/h, whereas on motorways the maximum speed is 130 km/h.

Parking in this city is plentiful, which is great if you’re in a hire car. For example, you can park at the secure and covered Q-Park Am Limbecker Platz. This costs about €5 (around ₹1370) for the whole day. Located in the centre, this is a very convenient place to leave your hire car. Similarly, Parking Garage Kastanienallee is located near to the shops and restaurants and costs about €1.50 (₹136) per hour.
