Ensure you consider the time of the year you're travelling to Magdeburg when choosing the right hire car. Generally, though, a compact car is great for manoeuvring narrow streets and parking in tight spaces. They also consume little fuel compared to most big cars, and are cheaper to hire. If you are travelling with your family or planning long road trips, consider going for a big car for their comfort. They also have great traction and can handle different terrains.

If using car hire in Magdeburg in urban areas, ensure you adhere to the 60 km/h (37 mph) speed limit to avoid getting into trouble with the authorities. However, there is no specific speed limit when driving a hire car in rural sections. When driving outside built-up areas, you should maintain a speed limit of 100 km/h (62 mph) and 130 km/h (81 mph) on freeways. In specific zones, such as near playgrounds, in school zones, and residential areas, the speed limit goes down to 30 km/h (19 mph) for children's safety.

Magdeburg has several car parking spaces from street to off-road. If you plan to explore the city and market on foot, you can park in one of Magdeburg’s street car parks.
