A standard-size or compact vehicle is ideal for driving on Germany’s smooth and well-maintained roads. Automatic cars are also popular in Germany, so you won’t feel out of place if you choose an automatic over a manual. Compact cars may also be more useful for driving in the town, as it will make it easier for you to merge in with traffic and fit into tight parking spaces.

When you choose Saarbrucken car hire, you should familiarise yourself with German speed limits before you travel. You should also look out for signs when you’re on the road, as speed limits vary across different areas. In urban areas, the speed limit is usually 50 km/h (30 mph). On rural roads and single-carriageways, this goes up to 100 km/h (60 mph). There is no speed limit on German motorways. Instead, drivers are expected to go at a speed that feels safe for them. On motorways marked with red signs, the recommended maximum speed is 130 km/h (80 mph), but this is not the law.
