Question 2

Make sure the gas tank is full, because there are a few good reasons to get out and explore beyond Cuxhaven. They include Wilhelm Bauer Submarine Museum in Weser-Strandbad — a tempting road-trip destination just 25 miles away. Want another good reason to make your way there? Zoo at the Sea is also within close reach.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

There's nothing as romantic as being by the ocean at dusk. Take a drive to Badestrand Friedrichskoog and glimpse the sun's rays shining on the water before it dips into the horizon. You'll find this stunning beach 13 miles from Cuxhaven.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Cuxhaven?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can make your way around Cuxhaven without renting a car. But with loads to see and do here, having one would certainly make your stay more enjoyable. If you're eager to get out of the city and into some nature, opt for a vehicle with some power. A larger car like an SUV will take you to the surrounding sandy shores in comfort and style. Going to spend a lot of your time close to the bright lights of the city? A smaller car like a mini or compact is a good choice. Driving around busy streets and squeezing into tiny parking spaces will be easy with one of these.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Cuxhaven?

Accepted Answer

First of all, there's a huge range of luxury rentals in Cuxhaven. What you opt for depends on what you're willing to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not pick up a high-end SUV, or perhaps a fancy medium-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you just need something to get from A to B as cheaply as possible, go for a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that won't blow your budget).
