Top tips for hiring a car in Stuttgart
- Stuttgart has many places of interest like the Technology Museum, the Mercedes-Benz Museum, or the Schloss Solitude. These attractions are spread far apart across the city, and there’s no better way to explore them all than with your own hire car. Rent a car for the number one car country and benefit from the freedom and thrill you get when you speed on the no-speed-limit freeways that still exist in Germany.
- Stuttgart Airport is located south of the city and it’s recommended to rent a car directly from there, as it means travelers can start their journey right upon arrival. The airport includes various hire car agencies like Hertz or Enterprise. The drive to Stuttgart center will take about twenty minutes and travelers will get there fastest via the B27.
- Germany is a speeding paradise for drivers and is simply a country of fast cars. The toll-free freeways do not have speed restrictions in many places. Make sure to drive on the right lane if it is too fast for you so you do not block passing cars. Also bear in mind that Stuttgart is one of the German cities with a low-emission zone. This means a car requires a green sticker to enter the city, so it is important to ask the hire agency whether such a sticker is included when booking the car.
- Driving in Stuttgart is mostly a pleasant experience, with German drivers having an excellent reputation on the road. However, inbound traffic can be severe between 7 and 9 am as well as outbound traffic between 4 and 6 pm. If possible, try to avoid going into or out of town during these times and enjoy a smoother driving experience by driving later or earlier.
- 25% of our users found a car hire in Stuttgart for R449 or less
- Book your car hire in Stuttgart at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini car hire in Stuttgart are around 47% cheaper than other car types, on average

Sep 2016
Pros:
Price was goodCons:
Had printed confirmation and email that car was to be picked up at stuttgart central station. Got there and they had no car for me and Budget system showed reservation was at a different station somehow. I had to take subway and walk there as they had no drivers that could bring car or take me there. The delay caused me to miss a tour.10,0 Wonderful

The drop off at Stuttgart airport was really easy and fast! Super efficient as we were running a little late.Cons:

Pros:
Not enough to outweigh the bad experience.Cons:
I was charged more than the rental contract stated. I was charged for fuel when I returned the vehicle with a full tank of gas. I was also charged fees that should not have been charged. This is very disappointing and I formally reached out to Hertz to complain.7,2 Good
Oct 2019
Pros:
Drop off was super easyCons:
Flight arrived early staff said my vehicle wasn't available, nor were any others in the class, tried to up-sell for 3 times the agreed upon cost. Told me I would need to wait for 2 hours until my reservation. At reservation offered me my choice of 3 vehicles and when I went to pick it up there was an entire row of my class of vehicle available. Definitely walked away feeling like the desk clerk I first spoke with chose to inconvenience me because I wouldn't accept the up-sell.4,0 Mediocre
Mar 2018
Cons:
Pickup did not hold the vehicle. They claimed I needed to provide my flight information (what form??) so that they know I'm coming. Why make a reservation if you don't KEEP the reservation?!Sixt

Pros:
Staff were pathetic. MR PINTO AND HIS MANAGER MS KUHLMANN, were extremely rude and incompetent. They didn't even supply the car I booked, overcharged me more than double as they didn't have a car and now refuse to refund me or reply to my calls or emails. Worst car rental ever.Cons:
Sixt is useless, it's no wonder they are called Sixt and not First..... Absolutely will never do a rental with them again.6,0 Okay

Mar 2017
Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
Return @ Stuttgart airport was an absolut nightmare: almost impossible to find the return location - so I called AVIS customer service and the condescending lady on the phone almost called me stupid for not being able to find it instead of explaining. But the worst was yet to come: when I finally got to the return point I get a guy with no identification that demands the key of my car and says he is not able to give me a receipt of returning my car because it was a car coming from Switzerland and that I had to just trust him...5,6 Fair

Pros:
Promised car ended up costing 200 euros more. They quoted the heck out of "or similar"Cons:
Counter help was unable to fill out a contract but promised that it would be ok. Ended up costing 300euros more that she quoted stupid me for leaving without a full computer generated contractINTERRENT
