Book ahead - bring proof of insurance - have fun
Verified travelerSept 2023
Book well in advance and confirm you are getting what they say they have. Also know that Frankfurt am Main is not at the airport.
Verified travelerJun 2023
One quick recommendation I would give is when returning the car at the end of the trip, stop at a gas station at least one town prior to fill up your tank. It is tough to find the gas station at Frankfurt FRA Airport, even though it is noted on maps, as the roads all go around like spaghetti, so even with the GPS on, it's next to impossible to find it unless you know what you are doing prior. It would be nice if Frankfurt Airport put up signs to direct you to the gas station, as just as you think you are getting close on the GPS and maps, all the roads switch to another direction. This might preclude you from refilling the car's gas tank prior to turning in the car at the end of the rental.

Very easy and friendly staff at SIXT

Make sure to specify if you want to pick it up from the airport.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Frankfurt am Main

  • If you plan on driving on the Autobahn, make sure you stick to the appropriate lane. The far left lane is only for drivers who are driving fast or passing. If you see flashing lights behind you then that means get out of the way because a fast car is coming up from behind and needs you to move to the right lane. In general the idea is that slow cars should be the ones that move over rather than forcing speeding cars to pass slow ones. Drivers should also note that many sections of the Autobahn do have speed limits, so keep your eyes out for any signs that come up.
  • Is picking up the hire car on your list of to-dos upon arriving in Frankfurt? For travelers with flights landing at Frankfurt am Main Airport, the hire car counters are found in the main lobbies of both terminals of the airport.
  • Biking is extremely popular throughout Frankfurt and all of Germany. Drivers should keep their eyes open at all times for bikers that may be passing alongside them, especially at intersections. Also, many bikers use hand signals to let drivers know when they are turning, so drivers should keep that in mind when driving behind them.
  • Frankfurt’s morning rush hour usually picks up around 6:30 a.m. and lasts till 9:30 a.m., while the afternoon rush hour peak starts about 4:00 p.m. and cools down soon after 7:30 p.m. Some of the most congested roads during rush hour include the A3 highway, the B8 highway, and Baseler Strasse in the downtown area.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Frankfurt am Main for R933 or less
  • Book your car hire in Frankfurt am Main at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Frankfurt am Main are around 48% cheaper than other car types, on average

My van that was reserved and pre paid in advance was given away due to my flight being delayed. Imagine the person in front of you in line is discussing how a van just became available as you stand there asking if the van being given away was yours. And yes it's in fact your van. Then no vans were left to rent and you have to rent a hotel and hope a van becomes available the next day. Fingers crossed as you are in a foreign country not knowing what to do next. I was also awake at that point over 26 hours. Tired exhausted and jet lagged. So my experience was 10 out of 10 the worst case scenario.

The paperless transaction resulted in my paying much more I add-one than I realized. I couldn’t see the impact of the charges, and the salesman smoothlyexplained them in a way I did not follow well. I will demand to see the figures in writing next time. Also,the navigation system in the car needed updating - several times we were on a major autobahn or cloverleaf where we needed guidance, and the nav system thought we were in a field.

Wenn ich wochenlang Testa-Nutzungs E-Mails bekomme, erwarte ich auch einen Tesla beim Abholen. Mir wurde eine anderes E-Auto angeboten, aber der Kofferraum war nicht ausreichend. Der angebotene MB E220D war dann am anderen Endes des Angebotsspekturms. Er lies sich aber sehr gut fahren.

Great new car with Bluetooth CarPlay, charging ports (USB-A). It was a plug-in hybrid, and we were not given any instructions on how to charge it. We returned it with an empty batter and were not charged extra (just had to fill it with gasoline). Pickup at Frankfurt airport was a mess. They did not have enough cars ready. We wound up getting one after about 45-60 minutes total time in line. They didn’t have enough agents, and the ones there were very nice but didn’t control the crowds well, who started trying to cut in line. Other than the very stressful check-in, the rest of the experience couldn’t have been better

Everything was fine the pick up and drop off except that I booked a Seat Ateca or similar and i got a Fiat tipo which is smaller but they insisted thats its the same category the boot space in the Seat Ateca is 510 liters while its 440 in the Fiat.. In addition to that the car is smaller than the Seat. As i said everything was good except that i dont think i got an intermediate SUV. As i always encounter if the selected car is not available i should be upgraded not downgraded. Thank you
