KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Luxembourg
- Though Luxembourg is one of the smallest nations in the world, it is highly recommended that travelers rent a vehicle during their time in the city-state. This is because there are many unique day trips available to visitors that are particularly accessible by private vehicle. For instance, the town of Echternach ,at 33 km (20.5 miles) away from Luxembourg, offers visitors a rare glimpse into the past with its medieval architecture.
- Can’t wait to start your trip in Luxembourg? You’d better start by renting a vehicle. If you are looking for the hire car counters and your flight is landing at Luxembourg Airport, then you will find the hire car desks in the Arrival Lounge, which is located on Floor -1.
- One of the more unique rules in Luxembourg is that, at night and in rural areas, drivers must flash their headlights before passing another vehicle. This is to alert the other drivers, so if you see someone flashing their headlights at you, be prepared for them to pass you on the road.
- Rush hour in Luxembourg is fortunately not too severe, but is still present throughout the work week. Drivers can expect to experience rush hour traffic from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. in the mornings and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the afternoon and evenings. The A6 Highway surrounding the city experiences by far the bulk of the traffic during rush hour, so make sure, if possible, to avoid driving during peak hours.

Nov 2018
Pros:
Friendly service and clean car.Cons:
I had the car reserved at 8 am but showed up late to pick it up. I was told that my car was no longer available. They offered me a very large car (nightmare in a tight parking garage) instead of the small one I had reserved. I understand a punishment for turning it in late...but aren’t I paying for it whether I pick it up on time or not? In the end, they gave me a small car and all was well.2.0 Poor

Pros:
NothingCons:
There was trash in the glove box. Trunk was too small. Shocks & brakes were worn out. User manual was only in French. I was pressed for time, terminal was too far away to reprocess so I was stuck with it. Could not have known about mechanical condition until driving it.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Everything was great. Clean and nice.Cons:
It is really hard to call service number provided. Seems to be the same in case of emergency and booking. Should be a different line. I don't want to think how is going to be if there is a problem or collusion and you need to call that number.2.0 Poor

When to book a car hire in Luxembourg
Car hire insurance in Luxembourg
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Luxembourg car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Luxembourg.
Deductible
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Luxembourg car hire.
