Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Cologne?
You'll get bang for your buck in Cologne, with hired car prices within the past seven days starting from as low as £42 per day.
Can I hire a car from Duesseldorf Intl. Airport (DUS)?
You can, and there's plenty of choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, make a beeline for the car hire centre in the arrivals area. Here you can choose from well-known companies like Buchbinder, Avis and Europcar. If you want some more options, see what's available with Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty and Sixt.
What happens if I need to cancel my Cologne car reservation?
You should get your money back on your hired car if it's cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to collecting the car. Look through your rental car agreement for all the info. Our Customer Service Portal may have the answers too.
What types of cars can I rent in Cologne?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium if it's sophistication you're after. Or, choose an economy model — the most popular rental in Cologne. Affordable and with great mileage, they're a good fit for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a large amount of room. They're especially suited to city exploring. Getting into tight parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Cologne?
With your own car, exploring the surrounding areas is a cinch. Cologne is an obvious place to start, but there's loads more to keep you busy in the region. Pick up the keys to a hire car, toss your bags in the trunk and check out these other terrific spots:

  • You'll feel the lively spirit of a city bursting with life the moment you pull into Frankfurt. Some 95 miles from Cologne, it's home to a number of exciting sights to see, such as Deutsche Bank Park.
  • Another city popular with travellers is Bottrop, around 40 miles away. Movie Park Germany is just one of the many reasons people love visiting here.
  • Escape the hustle and bustle of the city at Great Garden. Approximately 150 miles from Cologne, it's a beautiful place to get a fix of nature.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Cologne?
Hire car rules in Cologne require drivers to be 18 and over. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Most hire providers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the types of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to hire a car in Cologne?
While booking conditions can differ between car hire outlets, the two main things you'll need are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What is the cheapest car hire in Cologne?
The cheapest price for a hire car in Cologne within the past seven days was just £42 per day. The next best deal on offer was £47. 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 hire a car for a month or longer in Cologne?
Whether you're planning to hang around Cologne or discover what's beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you cheap long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Cologne hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Cologne providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
