KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Frankfurt am Main
- If you plan on driving on the Autobahn, make sure you stick to the appropriate lane. The far left lane is only for drivers who are driving fast or passing. If you see flashing lights behind you then that means get out of the way because a fast car is coming up from behind and needs you to move to the right lane. In general the idea is that slow cars should be the ones that move over rather than forcing speeding cars to pass slow ones. Drivers should also note that many sections of the Autobahn do have speed limits, so keep your eyes out for any signs that come up.
- Is picking up the hire car on your list of to-dos upon arriving in Frankfurt? For travelers with flights landing at Frankfurt am Main Airport, the hire car counters are found in the main lobbies of both terminals of the airport.
- Biking is extremely popular throughout Frankfurt and all of Germany. Drivers should keep their eyes open at all times for bikers that may be passing alongside them, especially at intersections. Also, many bikers use hand signals to let drivers know when they are turning, so drivers should keep that in mind when driving behind them.

Cons:
The original Avis representative at check-in had asked me if I wanted GPS. I said no, and although I can speak some German I was tired after a long flight and signed the contract without noting that I was paying for additional GPS that I did not ask for. Upon returning the vehicle I spoke once again to a different person at the counter telling her the situation and was given a credit for the GPS2.0 Poor

Pros:
NothingCons:
Turned to be a scam, supposed to be a VW Sharan van or similar, but they said there was a mistake in CarRentals.com reservation with Avis and they will give me a station wagon instead, and if I wanted a van I had to pay $1780 instead of $630. Both are unprofessional, CarRentals.com and Avis.3.6 Poor

Cons:
The rep told me about the charges and advised to bring back the car with full tank to get 120$ credit but upon returning my car, not only did I not get the credit, I was over charged an additional 500$.. dishonest staff attempting to over charge you so they can get a commission..stay away!!5.6 Fair

Oct 2019
Pros:
Staff was friendly at the counter but the agency was horrible. Ended up having to go to another vendor to obtain a vehicle.Cons:
This is one of two car rental agencies that insists that you pay for the insurance policy even though you have other comprehensive coverage - this effectively doubles the cost of the rental. This was not apparent on the website. The staff person I dealt with indicated that it was present in "very very fine print." Both I and the person ahead of me who also appeared to be a seasoned traveler then had to make alternate arrangements. This cost me an additional two hours at the airport when I had a long drive to make after a long flight.2.0 Poor

Cons:
There were hidden fees involved with this rental that were not listed when I made the reservation. I used a credit card that included rental insurance, but when I went to pick up the rental was told I had to use their expensive insurance.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Drop off was super easy, but pick up took a hour and I did not wait in a line.Cons:
The terms of agreement for Dollar (Germany) mandate that you purchase their insurance - if you used a credit card for your rental. The insurance is an “option” that must be added at the counter and as it is an “option” is is not included in any quote. It doesn’t matter what other insurance you have2.0 Poor

Jul 2017
Cons:
The location demanded that I obtain insurance and pay USD 500 before they would give me the car since I did not have a copy of my insurance showing that rental cars were covered. Who cares a copy of their insurance disclosures? If I had known, I would have obtained a copy before I left the US. Thus, I had to call my insurance company at my expense and have them email a copy that I could then email to the renal counter. I will not use Kayak nor Hertz for a rental car again and will tell all of my friends to not use them also. Not happy.10.0 Wonderful
