Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Cologne?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price for a cheap car rental in Cologne was $116.
Can I rent a car from Duesseldorf Intl. Airport (DUS)?
With Europcar and Sixt just a short distance from Duesseldorf Intl. Airport (DUS), getting off the plane and out onto the open road is a breeze.
What happens if I need to cancel my Cologne car reservation?
We get that flexibility is important. That's why many prepaid rentals give a total refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours in advance of collecting the car. It's a good idea to scan the cancellation policy though because there are some exclusions. If the info isn't there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Cologne?
Busy city streets and tight parking spots are no sweat for an economy car --- the most in-demand rental type in Cologne. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic like a dream. Affordable, reliable and with terrific mileage, these small rides pack a punch. But Cologne can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are among your options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Cologne?
With your own vehicle, road-tripping around the surrounding areas is a walk in the park. Cologne is an obvious place to begin, but there's lots more to see in the region. Grab the keys to a rental, toss your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other terrific locations:

  • Roughly 95 mi from Cologne, Frankfurt is a must-do for many visitors. With popular sights such as Deutsche Bank Park, you'll have no shortage of things to keep you busy here.
  • Another city popular with travelers is Dortmund, around 45 mi away. Signal Iduna Park is just one of many reasons people love visiting here.
  • After all that time behind the wheel, treat yourself to some time out in nature at Great Garden. It's roughly 150 mi from Cologne.

Why should I rent a Cologne car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Cologne with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer ratings. Bundle your Cologne car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cologne?
If you're aged 18 and over, you can rent a car in Cologne. Be mindful that most rental companies will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists usually aren't permitted to rent larger vehicles and luxury cars. Take note of the fine print before booking to avoid any problems when it's time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Cologne?
While requirements can differ between car rental outlets, the two main things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Cologne?
Cruising around Cologne will be second nature to drivers from the States. This destination, and the rest of Germany, sticks to the right.
What is the cheapest car rental in Cologne?
The two cheapest daily prices recorded in Cologne within the past seven days were $116 and $118. Now that's what we'd call a fantastic deal! 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 Cologne?
Expedia makes it a snap to find a long-term car rental in Cologne. Just click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find a Cologne car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Cologne. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Cologne?
A thorough insurance plan is a great choice for your upcoming Cologne vacation. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
