Top tips for hiring a car in Düsseldorf
- A hire car is the most comfortable way to explore not only the city of Dusseldorf but the whole of Rhineland. With a hire car, you can visit the city’s main attractions at your own pace, including the dozens of museums on offer as well as other stunning locations in the countryside. Head to Drachenfels for a taste of the Pieper winery award-winning wine or visit the Schloss Dyck castle, just half an hour away from Dusseldorf.
- Most of the major car hire agencies, including Europcar and Sixt, can be found at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is conveniently located just over 4 miles north of the city center. The hire car desks are situated in the Arrivals Hall of the airport’s terminal, and the returns should be done at the Car Rental Center (follow the signs as soon as you get off the highway that leads to the airport).
- Dusseldorf has a Low Emission Zone that covers good part of the downtown, so in order to drive there you will need a green sticker that indicates the vehicle is allowed to circulate there. Make sure to ask your hire agency to provide you with the sticker. If you’re driving on the Autobahn (freeway), always stick to the right unless you’re passing someone, as traffic runs really fast, particularly in areas where there’s no speed limit.
- Traffic usually flows pretty well throughout the city since residents use public transportation often, but the roads get more crowded during morning and evening rush hours. Avoid driving between 6:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and between 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. and you won’t struggle with traffic. Avoid driving in the Old Town area where, due to the narrow alleyways and cobbled streets, congestion is more common.
- Book your car hire in Düsseldorf at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy car hire in Düsseldorf are around 12% cheaper than other car types, on average

Staff were excellent on arrival to pickup. Drop off seemed fine but we were standing waiting for some acknowledgement from guy checking car when we saw car going away we leftCons:
Drop off could be better but overall I found this hire to be the easiest I’ve had so far. I’m waiting to see if I get stung with money on credit card as this has happened twice before with other companiesEnterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
drop-off was easy because u just leave the keys in the safe box.Cons:
The place (parking) itself as there's a gas station right next to it. But because of the roads one needs to make a big circle around to get to the parking back (as u actually want to fill the tank). But the roads there are a mess and it took us around 20 minutes to actually get back. Second thing is that when picking up the car I needed to prove my residential address. It's quite tricky to prove it under some circumstances. Thus I was just lucky that the costumer's manager knew my internet bank and managed to find my registration there10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
Nothing. Be careful of Dollar.Cons:
After having booked on kayak at a relatively good price, I was told that in he small prints it was stated that I had to take insurance (even I have private one) and this made my rent went up 400 euros. This was straight criminal but unfortunately it was 23:00 and there were no alternative.4,4 Mediocre
