Can I rent a car from Baden Airpark Airport (FKB)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Karlsruhe car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of the pickup time, the majority of reservations qualify for a full refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read your policy. Read through your booking for the finer details or click through to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
Where can I go on a road trip from Karlsruhe?
There's so much to do in Karlsruhe, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Arrange a set of wheels and you can cruise around the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome drives to your travel plan:

How do I find the best car rental deals in Karlsruhe with Expedia?
Check out ratings and reviews, choose your car type and compare prices from top brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to score the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Karlsruhe car rental with flight or hotel bookings and cruise off with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Karlsruhe?
You need to be at least 18 to grab the keys to a rental car in Karlsruhe. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge a fee for young renters. Check the rules before booking and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Karlsruhe?
While rules can differ between rental car outlets in Karlsruhe, the basics are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Karlsruhe?
In Karlsruhe and around Germany, people drive on the right-hand side of the road. While this is the same as in the States, you'll need to be mindful of any different traffic rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Karlsruhe?
The two cheapest daily rates offered in Karlsruhe within the past seven days were $28 and $29. How's that for a bargain? These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Karlsruhe?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-vacation. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and book a ride to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Karlsruhe car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Karlsruhe rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge additional fees. It's handy to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Karlsruhe?
You'll want to have collision protection to safeguard your Karlsruhe rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, it's easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24/7 emergency support and no deductible in the event of a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a complete refund.
Can I drive in Karlsruhe with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Germany, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
