KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Stuttgart

  • Stuttgart has many places of interest like the Technology Museum, the Mercedes-Benz Museum, or the Schloss Solitude. These attractions are spread far apart across the city, and there’s no better way to explore them all than with your own hire car. Rent a car for the number one car country and benefit from the freedom and thrill you get when you speed on the no-speed-limit freeways that still exist in Germany.
  • Stuttgart Airport is located south of the city and it’s recommended to rent a car directly from there, as it means travelers can start their journey right upon arrival. The airport includes various hire car agencies like Hertz or Enterprise. The drive to Stuttgart center will take about twenty minutes and travelers will get there fastest via the B27.
  • Germany is a speeding paradise for drivers and is simply a country of fast cars. The toll-free freeways do not have speed restrictions in many places. Make sure to drive on the right lane if it is too fast for you so you do not block passing cars. Also bear in mind that Stuttgart is one of the German cities with a low-emission zone. This means a car requires a green sticker to enter the city, so it is important to ask the hire agency whether such a sticker is included when booking the car.
  • Driving in Stuttgart is mostly a pleasant experience, with German drivers having an excellent reputation on the road. However, inbound traffic can be severe between 7 and 9 am as well as outbound traffic between 4 and 6 pm. If possible, try to avoid going into or out of town during these times and enjoy a smoother driving experience by driving later or earlier.
  • Book your car hire in Stuttgart at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Premium hire cars in Stuttgart are around 223% more expensive than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Stuttgart

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Stuttgart?

    As diesel cars are often not permitted in the low-emission zones, it is not recommended to get a diesel-fueled car. BMW and VW are beloved brands driven by many Germans, so for the ultimate German experience, consider one of these national brands. For people who want to make most of the autobahn, consider renting a sports car.

  • What’s the speed limit in Stuttgart?

    Within built-up areas, 50 km/h (31 mph) is the maximum speed limit; however, in many narrower roads and streets near pedestrian areas it may instead be 20-30 km/h (12-18 mph). Outside the city, the maximum speed permitted is 100 km/h (62 mph) (that is when the streets are dry). On many freeways there is a posted speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph), but on rural stretches, the speed limit is lifted and cars can go as fast as 200 km/h (124 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Stuttgart?

    There is metered on-street parking available in Stuttgart and there are three rate zones between around €4 ($4.60) per 60 minutes to approximately €2 ($2.30) per 120 minutes. E-cars can be parked for free in most zones. There are also parking garages and a P+R with public transport available.

They charged me over 300 euros for a scratch on the left front wheel. I never parked against a curb on the drivers side. They don't inspect the car when you drop it off, they do it after you leave and send you a bill for damage. The pictures they send might be a different car than the one you drove. Not impressed. Will not rent from them again.

Pros:

Not enough to outweigh the bad experience.

Cons:

I was charged more than the rental contract stated. I was charged for fuel when I returned the vehicle with a full tank of gas. I was also charged fees that should not have been charged. This is very disappointing and I formally reached out to Hertz to complain.

I booked a compact car back in January 2023. It turned out it was an electric vehicle (which I've never used/driven this type before), so I called to get a car which operated on gas. They charged me extra for the gas vehicle. Upon receipt of my confirmation, I noticed that they didn't give me an automatic which I had orginally booked, so I had to call back to change the reservation. Again it was extra money. When planning my trip, I discovered that I didn't need the car as many days I had originally planned. The contract said I couldn't turn it in early nor cancel the reservation. This mind you, was back in February. In late August when I had to pick up the car at the airport, it took me 1/2 hour to locate it. Towards the end of my rental, I discovered damage to a back tire while parked at my hotel. The road service assistant who was sent out to assess the damage told me that it made the car not driveable. When trying to get further assistance, I tried making several phone calls to SIXT customer service, but they either dropped or no one would pick up. Furthermore, I tried calling the number for roadside breakdowns and I received a message that they were closed. Just frustrating - I would think twice before renting from SIXT again..

The lady at STR was very rude ,uncooperative and VERY VERY ARGUMENTATIVE. I told her I had no internet on my phone as I am from the US and not willing to pay for the high rates in Europe just for 1 day. I asked for a MAP to the FRA airport and was given a paper with many QR codes to scan. The rate i paid on kayak did not match what she charged me incl. The insurance. I purchased the additional insurance on here and was told it's NOT VALID if anything happened. I will not get another car from that company- the value i paid versus what I got was beyond disappointing. It is 2024 and I had a car with no navigation system. The person receiving my car in FRA was very pleasant and helpful but did not make up for what I've experienced at the counter in STUTTGART.

Passenger van

The guy in the office was completely and unnecessary rude, he was making fun of us we don’t know why and he was unprofessional making us believe that for every possible fee we would be charged 30 eur extra, and for every possible scratch in the van we would be charg extra 3000 eur. Finally, once we were picking up the van in the airport, the price to pay was an 80% more that the one referred in the website. I will never use Alamo again.
