A recommended choice of car for navigating Nuremberg is a small or compact car, preferably an automatic. Smaller cars will be able to handle narrow city streets, traffic jams and day trips to neighbouring areas quite comfortably. Small cars mean small turning circles, which means less effort in manoeuvring the car in tight spaces; plus they are easier to park, which will be a plus when trying to find street parking in the city. Throughout Germany, environmentally friendly driving is a focus, which is a bonus when looking at compact car hire. Lighter cars made with fewer materials mean a more fuel-efficient vehicle, resulting in fewer emissions.

The first thing to notice when talking about speed limits in Nuremberg is that the Autobahn does run through the city. When driving on the Autobahn, there is no official speed limit; an average speed of 110 km/h is usually comfortable for Autobahn driving. Once you leave the Autobahn, you'll find things slow down a lot. The speed limit in built-up areas is generally 50 km/h and only increases to about 80 km/h in other parts of the city. In school zones, going over 20 km/h will get you a ticket.

Finding an on-street parking spot for your Nuremberg car hire in the city centre is a hard task, as space is limited and the rates are much higher than in other areas. You are only allowed to park for a maximum of 2 hours from Monday to Saturday; there is no limit or charge on Sunday. Once you leave the city wall and head to areas such as Heugaesschen and Obstmarkt, you'll find unlimited free parking. There are several paid car parks dotted around the city, at locations such as Findelgasse, Hans-Sachs-Platz 1, Augustinerstraße 4 and Zirkelschmiedsgasse 9. These car parks charge around € 2 (A$ 3) per hour.
