Hamburg car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Hamburg 
Verified travelerAug 2024
Make sure you know the rules of the road speed limits for different types of roadways. They vary greatly and I'm very glad I studied before I left on my trip. The road signs are similar, but they are different. Parking is tricky to find so you may have to park a long way away from your final destination. Many towns/cities have pedestrian streets that are in effect during certain times of the day so learn to recognize those signs, so you don't get into trouble. Some cities allow delivery trucks in the morning but not cars. Get full coverage on the car, it is definitely worth it! The roads are narrow, curvy and rarely straight so lots of hazards to navigate. I hit a post and I was very thankful I had taken out full insurance, so I didn't have an issue in a foreign country. Best $80 I ever spent.

Ask to see the car before you sign for it.

Pay attention to the traffic lights, especially the turn signals on the side for walkers and bikers. Be mindful of changing speed limits on all roads. We preferred driving on secondary roads rather than the Autobahn. Having a navigation app with cellular data on your phone is invaluable .

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hamburg

  • The top reason to rent a car during your time in Hamburg, aside from joyriding on the Autobahn, is that a vehicle allows you to spontaneously zoom over to any of the city’s neighboring towns and villages. For instance, the port city of Lubeck is just 70 kilometers (43 miles) away and is an easy day trip with a car.
  • If you are landing at Hamburg Airport and are looking to pick up a hire car right away, you can find the various hire car companies in the Arrivals Hall of Terminal 2.
  • Drivers who plan to use the Autobahn should make sure to stick to the appropriate lane, based on their driving speed. Specifically, only use the far left lane if you plan on truly driving fast and passing other vehicles. If at any time you see flashing headlights behind you that means move out of the lane because a faster car is coming up from behind. In general, German drivers expect the slower cars to move out of the way so that faster drivers can keep their pace uninterrupted. Drivers should also note that some sections of the Autobahn do have speed limits, so keep on the lookout for posted signage.
  • Hamburg is one of Germany’s most populous cities and, as a result, it often is bogged down with a dash of rush hour traffic. On an average day, rush hour traffic picks up at around 6:00 a.m. and lasts until 9:00 a.m., while in the afternoon it starts back up again shortly after 4:00 p.m. and hangs around until 6:00 p.m. on most days.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Hamburg for €30 or less
  • Book your car hire in Hamburg at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Hamburg are around 38% cheaper than other car types, on average
