KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hanover

  • Hanover car rentals offer a cost-effective alternative compared to local taxis and multiple public transport journeys when visiting your desired landmarks in Hanover. Depending solely on taxis can quickly accumulate expenses as you navigate your must-see destinations. Opting for car rentals in Hanover increases reliability for your vacation. Renting a car allows you to explore at your own pace and access places that may be more difficult to reach using public transportation. Whether you're interested in enjoying the tranquil surroundings of Codorus State Park or immersing yourself in the fascinating history of Gettysburg National Military Park, having a car at your disposal enables you to access these attractions conveniently.
  • Renting a car at Harrisburg Airport (MDT) is a hassle-free experience. The rental car offices are conveniently located in the baggage claim area, allowing easy access upon arrival. Show your driver's license at the customer service counters, and you'll receive your contract and keys. The rental cars are parked in a lot right outside the baggage claim area, making it convenient to pick up your vehicle. While an airport shuttle may not exist, the short walk from the terminal to the rental car offices ensures a seamless transition.
  • When driving car rentals in Hanover, familiarize yourself with the allowed road signs and regulations, including speed limits, stop signs, and traffic signals. Please pay attention to pedestrians as they may cross the road unexpectedly. In Hanover, the legal driving age is typically 18 years, but this may vary depending on the type of vehicle. It is strictly prohibited to drink and drive, with severe penalties for those caught driving under the influence of alcohol. Always adhere to traffic laws and exercise caution while driving in Hanover.
  • In Hanover, the rush hour occurs during the morning and evening, typically between 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm. During these times, traffic congestion is prevalent, making driving more challenging. Some heavily affected roads include the A2 motorway, the B3 highway, and major routes like the Hildesheimer Straße and Berliner Allee. Also, Hanover experiences approximately 1.4 inches of snowfall during December. Driving conditions during this month may be more challenging due to snow and ice on the roads.
  • Book your car hire in Hanover at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Hanover are around 70% cheaper than other car types, on average

The city experiences heavy traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, making maneuvering through narrow streets and finding parking spaces challenging. A compact car offers the advantage of easy maneuverability and the ability to navigate through tight spaces. However, if you travel to Hanover with your whole family, we recommend booking a cheap 8-seater. This allows you to accommodate everyone comfortably while benefiting from the compact car's advantages for city driving.

  • What’s the speed limit in Hanover?

    While driving car rentals in Hanover, the speed limits can vary depending on the specific roads and areas within the town. The default speed limit on most residential streets is 25 mph. However, paying attention to posted speed limit signs is essential, as they may vary on different roads. Some main roads and highways in and around Hanover, such as Route 94 or Route 116, may have higher speed limits, typically around 35 to 45 mph. Adhering to the speed limits ensures safety for drivers and pedestrians in the city.

  • Where are the best places to park in Hanover?

    When driving car rentals in Hanover, several convenient parking options are available. The best places to park include the municipal parking lots throughout the downtown area, such as the parking lot on Carlisle Street and Broadway. These lots typically offer hourly rates ranging from $1 to $2. Street parking is also available but may be limited in certain areas and typically has a time restriction. Visitors should be mindful of signage and follow parking regulations to avoid fines. Be sure to arrive early during peak times to secure a parking spot.

Liked that it was a new vehicle with low miles. Gave me the confidence that it should be a reliable vehicle. It was reliable, had no issues with it at all. Overall great experience. Maybe a bit pricey. Staff at the Gettysburg location was great.

There was no car at enterprise car rental for me. They had the reservation, but they did not have a car available. It’s completely ruined our family vacation plans, as well as my parents who are waiting for us to visit them. It was the last time I will use your services or enterprise rental car.

They did not have a car "did not know about reservation until you walked in the door". Spent $35 on uber to be turned away. They said "we can rent you one tomorrow" WTH. . Poor experience with Kayak and Enterprise.

Tried to rent a truck, called and spoke with sales rep-confirmed reservation. Following day called to confirm it was towing capable, was then told could not be rented through them but needed to go to the York Pa truck division-fine. Called them and reserved Arrived at the appointed time, did all of the paperwork, supplied Drivers license/proof of insurance and major credit card. Was told then I could not rent from them as my credit cards and drivers license names didn't match exactly-um no they don't recently widowed. They refused to accept any card and not a cash sale business. Went to U-haul- they were happy to rent without hassle. I will not attempt to use Enterprise again.

Pros:

The drop off was fine. The pickup was not good.

Cons:

I went through Hotwire to get a good rate on renting a car. The lady did not believe me when I got the full coverage for the car rental. 11.00 dollars for the day.

Pros:

Staff was nice but the car smelled like a dirty toilet. The brakes on the car were very bad. It made sense when the representative asked me if I planned on doing a lot of driving.

Cons:

Tell me about the car in it’s state and not let me drive off in that condition. I had a minor with me.

Cons:

When I showed up for my reservation, they told me they had no cars. I made a reservation the night before and when I arrived to pick up my car, I was stranded there because I had no way to get anywhere else. I had to walk on some busy main roads with no shoulder or sidewalk to get to another car rental place. False advertising for cars that were not actually there and it left me in an unsafe situation.
