How old do you have to be to rent a car in Heidelberg?
You'll need to be 18 and over to slide behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Heidelberg. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge an additional fee for young renters. Read the rules carefully before booking and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Heidelberg?
You'll need to present your driver's license and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Heidelberg car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a rental in Heidelberg, it'd be wise to check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Heidelberg?
After meticulously planning your big trip, don't scrimp on your insurance — add collision protection while reserving your Heidelberg rental car with Expedia. There are plenty of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and 24-hour emergency help, you'll be able to breathe a little easier if the unexpected occurs.
Can I drive in Heidelberg with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Germany, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
