KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Kassel
- You can’t go wrong with car hire in Kassel when visiting Germany. In contrast to public transportation, which operates on present schedules, car hire in Kassel offers convenience and flexibility to explore the city and its nearby locations. You will drive and stop at your convenience. For instance, you can drive to Hercules Monuments, Bergpark Wilhelmshohe, Bauhaus Museum Weimar, and Buchenwald Memorial. Outside the city, you can find Wilhelmshohe Park, about 62 km (38 miles) from the city. Kassel car hire allows you to enjoy your trips while staying within your budget.
- Booking car hire in Kassel at the airport allows you to leap into adventure immediately after landing. Kassel Airport (KSF) is the nearest airport to Kassel, about 16 km (10 miles) from the city centre. With several car hire agencies running on-site desks, getting your Kassel hire car at the airport is hassle free. The car hire desks are at the arrivals hall. Some car hire agencies at the airport include Flizzr, Thrifty, Europcar, Sixt, Global Rent-A-Car, Buchbinder and Avis.
- Despite having narrow roads and one-way streets, driving your hire car in Kassel is generally a safe and fun experience. However, just like in other cities worldwide, the city can have distracted road users. For instance, bikers are generally impatient and may often ignore traffic regulations. Be mindful when approaching or overtaking them, as they usually overlap. Commuter drivers can be impatient and sound horns unnecessarily. Practice caution and drive with patience. The city has many roundabouts. Slow down when approaching intersections and roundabouts.
- Significant cities in Germany are known for dense traffic during peak travel times, and Kassel is no exception. Expect rush hours roughly from 07:00 to 09:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00. The city experiences heavy traffic during rush hours since several residents access the city with private vehicles. Additionally, few roads access the city centre, leading to vehicles and motorbikes jockeying for position. Planning your routes well is critical to beat the traffic snarl-ups.
- Book your rental car in Kassel at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Kassel are around 4% cheaper than other car types, on average
