That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Karlsruhe. Compact or economy vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have more room for everyone's suitcases and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Karlsruhe trip can choose a higher-end category like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.
In Germany you do need to have insurance before you rent. Many of the major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) usually provide some coverage. However, many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. Make sure to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Karlsruhe. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Hertz does require a deposit when you reserve your rental. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Karlsruhe. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly based on the make and model of the rental.
At CarRentals.com, we advise 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 save some money, it is best to find a filling station before you bring your car back to Hertz.
Karlsruhe certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities in Karlsruhe.
