Cheap car hire in Stuttgart
KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Stuttgart
- With a Stuttgart car hire, you'll be able to get to multiple other major German cities in just a few hours. Munich is just over two and a half hours away on the A8. You can take a rest and stop in the town of Ulm to pay a visit to the impressive Ulm Rathaus City Hall. Families, in particular, might want to take a short detour to Günzberg to visit LEGOLAND Germany. Alternatively, the drive from Stuttgart to Frankfurt takes just under two hours. The most popular route takes you through a few other cities including Karlsruhe and Heidelberg.
- Double-check that your cheap car hire in Stuttgart has all the mandatory safety equipment required by German law. You will need a warning triangle (only one is necessary in Germany), a reflective vest for all occupants and a first aid kit. Ideally, the reflect vests should comply with EN471 standards which are consistent throughout Europe. Replacement bulbs aren't mandatory but they can come in handy and some car hire companies may provide them. You can drive in Germany with a UK driver's license, but just make sure you have all your rental/insurance paperwork and your passport handy.
- If you're travelling with children in Stuttgart, make sure you have appropriate child restraints and booster seats if necessary. In Germany, children under 12 years who are under 150 cm tall must be in a suitably fitted booster seat. They also cannot sit in the front seat unless there is no other option. Most companies providing cheap car hire in Stuttgart can provide booster seats. You'll just need to let them know before you arrive so they can make sure they have an appropriately sized seat on hand. You can bring your own but make sure it has an ECE-44 seal on it to show that it complies with EU regulations.
- 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.

FAQs about car hire in Stuttgart
What type of car is recommended for driving in Stuttgart?
As diesel cars are often not permitted in the low-emission zones, it is not recommended to get a diesel-fueled car. BMW and VW are beloved brands driven by many Germans, so for the ultimate German experience, consider one of these national brands. For people who want to make most of the autobahn, consider renting a sports car.

Within built-up areas, 50 km/h (31 mph) is the maximum speed limit; however, in many narrower roads and streets near pedestrian areas it may instead be 20-30 km/h (12-18 mph). Outside the city, the maximum speed permitted is 100 km/h (62 mph) (that is when the streets are dry).

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
Anonymous, 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.Budget

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.2.0 Poor
