Prices and availability for Berlin come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Berlin is a flat, spread-out city with wide roads, a good public transport network and paid on-street parking across most of the inner districts. A car is not for the Brandenburg Gate, it is for the lakes and forests of Brandenburg, the palaces of Potsdam, the Spreewald canals, the Baltic coast and a weekend run to Dresden or Leipzig. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Berlin: common questions
Is it worth having a car while staying in central Berlin?
For the city itself, no. Trains, trams and bikes cover the sights faster than parking will allow. Pick up the car on the day you leave town, from a city location or Berlin Brandenburg airport to the south-east, and drop it on the way back so you only pay for the days it actually moves.
What car suits trips out of Berlin?
The roads around Berlin are flat and well surfaced, so any compact car does the job for Potsdam, the Spreewald or the Müritz lakes. Choose something roomier if you are heading to the Baltic coast with luggage, and remember that many rural Brandenburg roads are single carriageway with slower traffic behind farm vehicles.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Berlin, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
