With everything to do and see in and around the Erlangen area, you'll want to take in more than the area surrounding your hotel while on your trip. Whether you are hoping to check out the restaurant that has received rave reviews across town or see some of the best local favorites, you'll need your own vehicle to take in as much as possible while on your vacation. Whatever you end up doing in Erlangen, if you wish to get the most out of your time in the city, having your auto is key.
Germany did not have a modern network of roads when Martin Sixt created his companyover a hundred years ago. But with forward thinking, like the first worldwide car rental company to let you book via your iPhone, and a priority on offering superb customer service, Sixt has grown into one of the most celebrated international car rental companies worldwide.
CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest rates, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. However, reserving ahead of your trip can help you save even more. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and read the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.
You will need to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.
Sixt's minimum age to rent a car in Erlangen is 20. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an added fee if you are under 25. Make sure to check Sixt's policies to find out if there is an additional cost for you.
That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit Erlangen. Compact or economy vehicles are easier to park and good for short drives. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a sedan or SUV is going to have more room and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their Erlangen vacation can choose a higher-end category like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.
In Germany you do need to have insurance before you rent. Many major credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) usually offer coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering large vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. Be sure to call your credit card company and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Erlangen. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Sixt does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Sixt will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit may vary greatly depending on the model and make of the rental.
We recommend a full tank policy. You receive the car with full tank, and you should bring it back it filled up. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a filling station before you bring the car back to Sixt. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Erlangen certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities in Erlangen.
Sixt usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your rental car at another location. Don't forget there is typically an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
With so much to do and see in Erlangen, having the keys to your own vehicle lets you explore at your own pace. When you are ready to see more of Germany, you can leave wherever you like, without waiting for your ride to pick you up or figuring out a bus schedule.
