For driving in Mannheim, it is generally recommended to rent a compact or mid-size car. As with many European cities, the streets in Mannheim's centre can be narrow in some areas, so a smaller car provides easier manoeuvrability and parking options. However, despite this, if you plan to venture outside the city and explore the surrounding countryside or take longer trips, you might find that you'll be happier with a mid-size or larger car for the added comfort and storage capacity.

The speed limits in Mannheim and its surrounding areas follow the standard German regulations. In urban areas and residential zones, the speed limit is usually 50 km/h (31 mph), unless otherwise indicated. On rural roads and highways, the speed limit can range from 100 km/h (62 mph) to 130 km/h (81 mph), depending on the road conditions and signage.

Parking in Mannheim is generally fairly easy as there are great car parks located all around the city centre. For example, Parkhaus N1 on Friedrichsring 6 is situated in the heart of Mannheim, making it a great base to explore the city from. The parking fees here typically range from €1.50 (£1.30) to €2.00 (£1.70) per hour. Alternatively, if you're looking to visit the Mannheim Water Tower or the Luisenpark Parkhaus, you can't go wrong with Wasserturm on Am Friedrichsplatz 2 as it's right next door. Again, the parking fees range from €1.50 (£1.30) to €2.00 (£1.70) per hour.
