Expedia makes it a cinch to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Hamburg car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you'll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hamburg?
Drivers need to be at least 18. But there are a few age-related requirements you should keep in mind before reserving your Hamburg wheels. If you're a younger motorist, many rental providers will charge an additional fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between suppliers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Hamburg?
While rules may differ between car rental outlets, the two things you'll need are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hamburg?

Where can I find a Hamburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Hamburg outlet that does rent to under 25s? That's great! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Hamburg?
Get your road trip off to a safe start by purchasing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of car rental insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency help. Don't wait until you get to the rental counter to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Hamburg ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Hamburg with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
