KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Friedrichshafen

  • Car hire in Friedrichshafen offers you flexibility and freedom compared to taking buses and trains. You’re able to travel directly to your location with a hire car, which isn’t always the case with public transport. You can also come and go as you please, so you aren’t reliant on bus timetables. For instance, you can go to Meersburg in around 20min by car. This same journey takes around 25min using a bus, but you also have to abide by the set schedule.
  • Friedrichshafen Airport (FDH) is very convenient to reach from the centre of the city, making it great to collect your hire car from. After passing though the security at border control, and picking up your bags, you will locate the car hire agencies easily. For instance, Budget and Enterprise are both conveniently located in the terminal building. Your Friedrichshafen car hire provider will take you to your vehicle once you’ve filled in the required documentation, shown your identification and paid.
  • Using a car hire in Friedrichshafen, you’ll see it’s a popular city on the shores of Lake Constance. In general, you will find drivers respect the rules and drive calmly, which makes it a good place to drive a hire car. Jaywalking is illegal in Germany, but this doesn’t always stop people crossing in areas they shouldn’t, so remain vigilant when driving. There are also lots of cyclists and moped drivers in the city, so regularly consult your mirrors.
  • When driving a Friedrichshafen hire car you will find that traffic can get very busy, particularly in rush hour which is from about 6:00 to 9:00 and around 17:00 to 20:00. If you want to drive when there’s less traffic, it’s best to avoid these times. Zeppelinstraße is one of the busiest roads in the city, as it goes right through the centre. If you want an alternative road to this, try Schmidstraße, which should have less traffic.
  • Book your rental car in Friedrichshafen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in Friedrichshafen are around 115% more expensive than other car types, on average

Even though the countryside roads in Germany are well-kept, should you be leaving the city, a larger vehicle is recommended. For example, an SUV has a superior interior, which enhances comfort. This type of vehicle also provides you with better grip and handling, which is useful if you’re driving on rural roads in wet conditions.

  • What’s the speed limit in Friedrichshafen?

    If you don’t follow the speed limits in Germany, it’s likely you’ll end up being prosecuted by the police. Driving at the correct speed also helps lower the risk of you being involved in an accident. Your car hire agency will automatically fine you if you get caught speeding, and they will pass your details over to the authorities. The top speed in the city is 50 km/h (31 mph). If you’re driving on rural roads, you can’t go any faster than 100 km/h (62 mph). Whereas, if you’re on a motorway, the maximum speed limit is 130 kmh (81 mph).
