KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Heidelberg

  • Car rentals in Heidelberg eliminate the need to rely on public transportation schedules. You can come and go as you please, making spontaneous stops and detours along the way. Heidelberg is surrounded by picturesque countryside and charming villages. Some places you can quickly see in your rental car include Heidelberg Castle, Philosophers' Walk (Philosophenweg), Old Town (Altstadt), and the beautiful Neckar River. Unlike on planes or trains, rental cars have no luggage restrictions. You can bring all the necessary gear and equipment, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking or biking.
  • Frankfurt Am Main International Airport (FRA) is the nearest option for those seeking Heidelberg car rentals from an airport. All major car rental companies at this airport have a presence in both terminals. You can find the Car Rental Center in Hall A of Terminal 1, situated in the Airport City Mall area, one level above the regional train station. In Terminal 2, the rental car center is conveniently located on the arrivals level in Hall D.
  • A few things for visitors to know about driving car rentals in Heidelberg is that Germany's famous autobahn network allows for sections of high-speed, unrestricted driving. However, it's important to note that not all sections are without speed limits, and following the posted signs is essential. In Germany, the rule "right before left" generally applies at intersections, meaning vehicles approaching from the right have the right of way. Understanding this rule is crucial for smooth navigation through junctions. Some roads in Germany are designated priority roads, marked with a yellow diamond-shaped sign. Vehicles on these roads have the right of way over those coming from side streets.
  • Monday to Friday, especially between 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, you can expect increased traffic congestion on main roads such as the B37 (Bundesstraße 37), the B3 (Bundesstraße 3), the A5 Autobahn, and the A656 Autobahn. On Friday afternoons and evenings, as well as on Sunday afternoons and evenings, there is often heavier traffic due to weekend getaways and people returning home after trips. In peak tourist seasons, such as spring and summer, there may be higher traffic volumes on main roads as visitors explore the city and its surroundings.
  • Economy rental cars in Heidelberg are around 23% cheaper than other car types, on average

Opting for compact or mid-size car rentals in Heidelberg is generally more convenient for maneuvering through the city. If you are unfamiliar with driving a manual transmission, choose an automatic car for a smoother driving experience. Having a built-in GPS or a reliable navigation system provided by your rental company can be immensely helpful in finding your way around Heidelberg and its surroundings.

    The speed limit within urban areas is generally 50 km/h (31 mph). This speed limit applies to most city streets and residential areas.

However, there are recommended speed limits in many areas, especially in construction zones or areas with hazardous conditions. It's essential to pay attention to the posted speed limit signs.

Everything was great. The service at pickup was great, the online set up made a mistake on time I asked for a 9 am pickup and it was reserved for noon. The man at the counter arranged for the car to be available by 10 am and we were pleased.
