How old do you have to be to rent a car in Heidelberg?
You need to be at least 18. But there are a few age-related rules you should keep in mind before you reserve your wheels in Heidelberg. If you're a younger driver, most rental suppliers will charge an extra fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you're able to rent. This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. Take a few moments to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Heidelberg?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Heidelberg?
If you take the wheel in Heidelberg, you'll have to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Be aware that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission if you haven't driven on the left before.
What is the cheapest car rental in Heidelberg?
Heidelberg has no doubt had some happy rental car drivers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were and . 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 Heidelberg?
You can. We partner with quality companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every square inch of Heidelberg — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Heidelberg car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Heidelberg. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Heidelberg?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a fantastic choice for your Heidelberg getaway. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Heidelberg with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
