It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape any surprise charges when collecting your car.

Question 12

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Hildesheim?

A comprehensive insurance plan is a great idea for your Hildesheim trip. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may also require 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.

Question 13

Can I drive in Hildesheim with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Germany, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places 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 vehicles you can rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
