Driving from German Airports - Distances and Routes

German airports are well-connected to cities and regions by modern motorway networks. Key distances from major airports:

Insurance and Coverage at German Airports

Car rental at German airports typically includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Third Party Liability insurance as standard. When booking without deposit, verify what coverage is included in your rate:

• CDW: Reduces your liability in case of damage to the rental car - excess amounts vary by supplier
• Third Party Liability: Covers damage to other vehicles or property - minimum EUR 100 million required by German law
• Theft Protection: Covers loss of the vehicle in case of theft - usually included with CDW
• Additional coverage: Personal Accident Insurance, windscreen and tyre protection available at extra cost

No deposit does not mean no excess. Your booking voucher states the excess amount you are responsible for in case of damage. This is separate from the deposit requirement. Full coverage with zero excess is available at additional cost when collecting the car.

Fuel Policy and Airport Car Rental

Most car rental companies at German airports operate a full-to-full fuel policy. You collect the car with a full tank and return it full. If returned empty or partially empty, refuelling charges apply at airport rates, which are higher than local petrol stations.

Alternative fuel policies include prepaid fuel - you pay for a full tank upfront and return the car empty. This is rarely economical unless you plan to drive significant distances and return with minimal fuel remaining.

Cross-Border Travel from German Airports

Germany's central location makes cross-border travel attractive. Most car rental agreements at German airports permit driving to neighbouring countries including France, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland and Denmark. Some restrictions apply:

• Written permission required for cross-border travel - request this at the rental desk
• Additional insurance may be required for certain countries
• Luxury and high-value vehicles may have cross-border restrictions
• Eastern Europe destinations may require additional fees or be prohibited

Always declare your intention to cross borders when collecting the car. Undeclared cross-border travel may void your insurance coverage and rental agreement.
