Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Cologne?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price found for a cheap rental in Cologne was CA $108.
Can I rent a car from Duesseldorf Intl. Airport (DUS)?
Absolutely. Once your plane hits the tarmac at Duesseldorf Intl. Airport (DUS), you'll find the rental car centre located in the arrivals area. Book a ride with Avis, Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty or Sixt. Enterprise/National/Alamo and Buchbinder are other suppliers worth looking into.
What happens if I need to cancel my Cologne car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings give a total refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours prior to pickup. It's a good idea to read your rental policy though as there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Cologne?
Most visitors choose to rent economy vehicles in Cologne. Motorists love them because they're affordable and fuel-efficient. Plus, their small size makes them well-suited to exploring cities, where streets are busy and parking can be challenging. But economy isn't your only option. Mid-size, standard, full-size and premium cars are part of our rental range too. Whether you're hanging around Cologne or venturing beyond, we'll have a ride that fits your needs.
Where can I go on a road trip from Cologne?
Cologne has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the open road to explore the surrounding region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • Head to Frankfurt for an excellent sightseeing experience. About 153 kilometres from Cologne, it's home to loads of great attractions like Deutsche Bank Park.
  • Your next pit stop? Dortmund, which is around 72 kilometres away. Signal Iduna Park is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • Make tracks to Wilhelma Zoo to reconnect with nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax and unwind. From Cologne, it's around 290 kilometres away.

What do you need to rent a car in Cologne?

Where can I find a Cologne car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Cologne often depends on the rental company you choose.

It'd be wise to read the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to avoid excessive charges when collecting your car.
