Car rental in Oberndorf/Neckar

Germany's traffic rules differ slightly from those in the UK, here are some key differences to keep in mind:

• Drive on the right: In Germany, motorists drive on the right-hand side of the road, unlike in the UK where driving is on the left.
• Speed limits: In built-up areas the speed limit is usually 50 km/h, and 100 km/h on country roads. Certain sections of the autobahn have no speed limit, but a recommended speed of 130 km/h.
• Overtaking: Overtaking other vehicles is only done on the left, never on the right unless in a traffic jam.
