The city’s green policies prefer low-emission cars, and car hire in Freiburg im Breisgau must meet the city’s emission standards. Small economy cars such as the Hyundai i20, Toyota Aygo and Volkswagen Golf are suitable for individuals and small families or groups. Compact cars such as the Skoda Octavia, Seat Leon and Opel Insignia are great options if you travel with lots of luggage or a bigger group of people. Suppose you plan to visit challenging terrains such as Black Forrest, stock SUVs such as the Nissan Qashqai, Opel Crossland X, BMW X1 and Ford Kuga, would be suitable.

Drive slow in Freiburg, especially in the city. The traffic calming policy in the city has cars driving at speed limits of 30 km/h (19 mph). However, there are some streets where cars travel at walking speeds. The government recommends a maximum 130 km/h (80 mph) speed limit outside the city and on motorways. Speed limit signs are available on most roads, guiding you on what maximum speed to drive. When the road conditions are wet and slippery, in the snow and rain, drive safe at speeds lower than the speed limit.

A tip for finding free parking spots is near public transportation hubs. Freiburg offers free car parks outside the green zones, often called Park-and-Ride (P+R). In the city, driving and parking in on-street car parks require that you get a permit. This stipulation leaves private car parks, which are expensive and hard to locate. Some hotels also have car parks, at a cost, and you should consult at the reception. You could also find a spot to park using third-party apps.
