You don't need to limit your exploring to just Kempten. Schwangau is only 25 miles away and features a neat range of nearby things to see and do, such as Neuschwanstein Castle. Hohenschwangau Castle is another popular attraction.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Kempten?

Accepted Answer

Kempten has lots on offer. You could vacation for a week or two here and not run out of things to do. To take in as much as you can in this busy metropolis, you'll need a rental car. Keep in mind that city driving usually goes hand in hand with tight streets and sparse parking spaces. But don't worry — a small car like a compact can make this much less daunting. If you can't wait to head straight out of the city and enjoy some of the snowfields that Kempten is renowned for, you'll probably prefer a rental car with more room to move. A full-size or mid-size SUV will get you around comfortably.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Kempten?

Accepted Answer

You'll be pleased to hear that there's an impressive variety of both luxury and economy vehicles to rent in Kempten. What you go with depends on your funds and what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you want to indulge yourself, why not go for a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a slick medium-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you just need something to zip around town in as efficiently as possible, you're better off going with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
