Also known as Brunswick Airport, it is one of the oldest, still functional airports in Germany and is situated within 6.9 km of the city centre of Braunschweig. It’s not as busy as some larger airports, but it serves as an excellent access point to the regions of Lower Saxony, making it ideal for your bespoke self-drive holiday.

Car Rental at the Airport

Car hire facilities embrace major international and local rental agencies, ensuring a wide variety of options when choosing the perfect vehicle for your trip. It’s wise to book your car online in advance to secure your preferred vehicle and the best deal. The rental desks can be found in the arrivals area for your convenience.

Recommendations for Bookings

Economy and Compact class cars are great for city driving and short distances, while SUVs and vans offer more space and comfort, especially handy if you are traveling with family or planning to venture further afield. Note that manual vehicles are more common in Germany, although automatic variants are available at a slightly higher rate.

Refresh with Fuel and Food

There are several petrol stations close to the airport for your ease and convenience. Here are the closest ones:

  • ARAL, Hansestraße 26, 38112 Braunschweig (3.1km away)
  • Shell, Hansestraße 40, 38112 Braunschweig (3.3km away)

For quick snacks or meals, cafes and restaurants are available within a short drive from the airport.

Driving in Germany: What to Know

Like in the UK, the legal driving age in Germany is 17 years old, although rental companies typically require drivers to be at least 21 and may charge a young driver fee for those under 25. Here are some important points:

  • Germany drives on the right side of the road, opposite to UK traffic regulations.
  • Speed limits in Germany are generally 50 km/h in built-up areas and 100 km/h outside of them unless otherwise signposted.
  • The Autobahn (the German motorway) often does not have a speed limit, but a recommended speed of 130 km/h.
  • Winter tyres are required in certain weather conditions, so be sure to check with your rental company.
  • Most of the road signs are similar to those in the UK but some might differ. A quick online search could help you understand better.
