KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Friedrichshafen
- Car hire in Friedrichshafen offers you flexibility and freedom compared to taking buses and trains.

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.

There are also lots of cyclists and moped drivers in the city, so regularly consult your mirrors.
