How to find a cheap car hire deal in Crailsheim

  • Start your adventure off right with a cheap rental car in Crailsheim. With prices averaging £149 a day, you're on the road to better value. From zippy compacts to roomy SUVs, we'll match you with your kind of ride at your kind of price.

  • The cheapest daily rental price in Crailsheim is £112.

  • Staying a little longer? Grab a weekly rental from £234 and take the time to discover more.

  • To land the best price on a Crailsheim car hire, book in advance. Rates generally climb as your travel dates get closer, and last-minute availability isn't always guaranteed.

  • Line up your ride with Sixt, Europcar or Keddy By Europcar. They're some of the most popular providers in the city.

  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Crailsheim car hire policy, whether you book with Sixt or any other supplier. Some companies offer it as a paid extra instead of including it.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to lock in a good deal if the provider needs to shift cars between sites. Discover the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Cut down on fuel costs by picking a vehicle that has a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up your ride with a full tank and refill it before drop-off, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Roam without limits by searching for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, these rides let you go as far as you want without paying more.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Crailsheim car hire can take the stress out of driving. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of damage or theft. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so compare before you book.

  • From GPS units to mobile Wi-Fi, the right extras can make every mile feel easier. Think about which features will make your trip more comfortable when you rent a car in Crailsheim.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals can vary by provider and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Germany may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.

  • Kids coming with you? Car seat regulations vary according to the location, and the best setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Check if you need to add one to your Crailsheim car hire reservation.

  • Bring the right documents to make pick-up quick and easy. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no electronic copies) and a second photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • If it's your first time driving in Germany, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Germany. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.

  • Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) on your trip here. Along with your bank cards, consider taking some cash for smaller purchases.

  • German is the language you'll hear most people speak in this country.
