Can I rent a car from Erfurt Airport (ERF)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Ilmenau car reservation?
No worries! If you cancel your rental more than six hours prior to pickup, you'll most likely receive all of your money back. You'll want to read your rental agreement as there are some exclusions. Visit our Customer Service Portal for more info.
Where can I go on a road trip from Ilmenau?
Ilmenau is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding area. These are some great options:

  • Bamberg is approximately 55 miles from Ilmenau. Notable tourist attractions like Bamberg Cathedral deserve to be at the top of your list while you're in town.
  • Situated 60 miles away, Bayreuth is also a favorite with wanderers. Set aside time to get to Bayreuth Festival Theater while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this city.
  • Wilhelma Zoo is situated 150 miles from Ilmenau and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Ilmenau with Expedia?
Score an awesome deal with Expedia. Simply choose your preferred car type, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from leading providers. Save even more when you bundle your Ilmenau car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
What do you need to rent a car in Ilmenau?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between rental suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ilmenau?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Germany — the same as in the U.S. Traveling around Ilmenau won't be exactly the same as home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local traffic rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Ilmenau?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that daily rates were as low as $97. The next best price to rent a set of wheels in Ilmenau was $121 a day. 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 Ilmenau?
You can rent a car for a month or longer in Ilmenau, so go ahead and extend your well-deserved vacation! Simply enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your perfect ride.
Where can I find an Ilmenau car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find an Ilmenau outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Great! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ilmenau?
You'll want to have collision damage protection to safeguard your Ilmenau car rental against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24-hour emergency help and a zero-dollar deductible in the event of a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll receive a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in Ilmenau with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Germany, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order 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 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 matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
