Have you thought about sharing a car? Then look through the price comparison to find the offers not only for the hired car but also the insurance that includes an additional driver. As the insurance for a hired car is only for one driver, this could be a good option to add to your booking.

If you hire a car through the price comparison, you should always make sure that the insurance also includes a fully comprehensive insurance policy without excess. Because in such a large city like Berlin, a rear-end collision or other damage can quickly occur in dense city traffic. When booking this option, you are on the safe side. It may not appear to be so cheap at first glance, but in case of an accident, you won’t have to pay any additional costs for damage.

If you hire a car only for one way, then it is called one-way rental. You pick up your hired car at one location but return it to another location. For example, you may pick up the hired car at Tegel Airport, need it for a few days in Berlin, but then continue your journey by car to Hamburg. If your journey ends in Hamburg, you can return the car at the airport rental station.

Deposits are always paid when you pick up the hired car, for example at the Tegel Airport. After returning the car to the rental station, the deposit will be immediately refunded. If you have chosen the option of hiring the car with comprehensive insurance without any excess; and there is some damage found on the car, for example, due to a small rear-end collision, you will still get the full deposit refunded. With this sort of insurance, it does not matter if you have to pay the deposit. We recommend, hiring a car with high insurance is cheaper than paying the costs for an accident and not getting the full deposit refunded. 

Arriving by hired car at the sights of Berlin

Berlin offers most of its sights in the city centre, called Mitte. A few examples are the Reichstag, Victory Column, Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin zoo. On the outskirt are also great shopping possibilities like the KaDeWe, Europa-Center and Kurfürstendamm, which can be easily and quickly reached with your hired car. Another destination is the television tower of Berlin, where you can enjoy the stunning view of the city. A hired car gives you many advantages, as Berlin is a big city, you are independent and more flexible from public transport and can plan your trips the way you prefer. Berlin is a very special city as no other city in Germany is more diverse, multicultural, contemporary and modern. With hiring a car, you can explore all its facilities at your pace. 

Hired car Berlin: The City of German History

As Berlin is a very multicultural and diverse city, you will find a large range of international cuisines and bars.
