What you need to know about car rentals in Heidelberg

How do I find the best deals on a Heidelberg Hertz rental car?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest rates, no matter when you book. But booking your car ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to not add an additional driver and read the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my car rental in Heidelberg?

You will need to bring your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What's Heidelberg's minimum age to rent a car?

Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Heidelberg is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Make sure to review Hertz's policies to know what the total cost is before you book.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Heidelberg?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit Heidelberg. Economy or compact cars are easier to park and good for short drives. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a mid-size car or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Heidelberg vacation can choose a higher-end car model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in Germany?

In Germany you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Hertz. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Hertz car rental?

Hertz does require a deposit when you book your rental. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip. Please note that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the make and model of the car.

What is the fuel policy on my Hertz car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full to full policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Hertz.

Do I need unlimited miles when I drive in Heidelberg?

Heidelberg definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Does Heidelberg Hertz offer one-way car rentals?

Hertz offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental at another Hertz. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you pick one-way.
