An amazing feature of this airport is the fact that there is a car rental center in both of the terminal buildings at the airport. In Terminal 1, you will find this car rental center in Concourse A on Level 0. In Terminal 2 you'll find it in Concourse D on Level 2. 11 different companies offer car rental at Frankfurt am Main Airport (FRA) most of which are large, global chains that travelers will be familiar with but there is also a local company that provides rental car service here as well.
One of the nice features of returning a car rental at Frankfurt am Main Airport is that you can return your car to either terminal building regardless of where you rented the car from in the first place. This can be a real convenience since it is not at all uncommon to have your departing flight leave from a different terminal than you're arriving flight arrived at. As you approach the airport on either Audubon A3, A5, or Motorway B43, look for the signage for your proper terminal and then look for car rental return signage. Once you have parked your car all you need to do is note the gas level and mileage, lock the car, and then drop your contract and your keys in the lockbox for your rental car provider.
Given that this is a large international airport there are plenty of options for transportation to get you from the airport to the center of the city. These include things such as trains, buses taxis, shuttles, and town cars. The one flaw with all these forms of transportation is that compared to a Frankfurt am Main Airport car rental, none of them are going to give you the great combination of convenience and low cost that a rental car at this airport is going to provide.
Because this is a large airport that serves a large European city, you should expect the airport to be busy at almost all times of the day but certainly, it will be most busy in the morning and evening rush-hour periods as well as during busy holiday travel periods. To make your car rental at Frankfurt am Main Airport process easier, it is always best to make sure you reserve a car with one of the on-site rental car companies before your trip so that you are sure there is a car waiting for you upon your arrival.

That said each of the rental car companies has an extensive list of European countries where you may drive the car while you are renting a car. There can be additional fees added to your rental for doing so.
What amenities does the rental car center have?
One of the best things about having all the customer service counters for rental car companies inside the terminal building is that travelers will have easy access to all of the amenities at the airport. At this large international airport that includes numerous dining options, several shopping options, things like restrooms and waiting areas, as well as an information desk to guide travelers with questions about not only the airport but the area surrounding the airport.

Service and car were good but a little pricey for a van.

May 2024

My van that was reserved and pre paid in advance was given away due to my flight being delayed. Imagine the person in front of you in line is discussing how a van just became available as you stand there asking if the van being given away was yours. And yes it's in fact your van. Then no vans were left to rent and you have to rent a hotel and hope a van becomes available the next day. Fingers crossed as you are in a foreign country not knowing what to do next. I was also awake at that point over 26 hours. Tired exhausted and jet lagged. So my experience was 10 out of 10 the worst case scenario.

No one inspected the car with me when I picked up the car, the existing damages were written in text and not shown in picture so obviously it was not clear and there was existing damages missing from the file. Luckily I had taken videos to make sure I don’t get screwed at drop off. The car was dirty from inside and outside. There was Tobacco everywhere in the car. At drop off I got accused of a damage that was there before me and I had to show my videos so I sent multiple emails and waiting for response

We had to wait in a huge line that took 3.5 hours to pick up our rental car that we reserved and paid a deposit for online. We were exhausted from our long flight and jetlag. There was nowhere to sit. It was very poor service from Sixt. This is the last time I will be renting with them.

Wenn ich wochenlang Testa-Nutzungs E-Mails bekomme, erwarte ich auch einen Tesla beim Abholen. Mir wurde eine anderes E-Auto angeboten, aber der Kofferraum war nicht ausreichend. Der angebotene MB E220D war dann am anderen Endes des Angebotsspekturms. Er lies sich aber sehr gut fahren.

Great new car with Bluetooth CarPlay, charging ports (USB-A). It was a plug-in hybrid, and we were not given any instructions on how to charge it. We returned it with an empty batter and were not charged extra (just had to fill it with gasoline). Pickup at Frankfurt airport was a mess. They did not have enough cars ready. We wound up getting one after about 45-60 minutes total time in line. They didn’t have enough agents, and the ones there were very nice but didn’t control the crowds well, who started trying to cut in line. Other than the very stressful check-in, the rest of the experience couldn’t have been better

Jul 2022

SCAM ALERT. We prepaid for our car. Our pick-up was delayed and we picked up our car 3 hours late. The manager told us the requested car was not available because we did not pick up the car within 1 hour of our scheduled pick up time per some obscure policy (despite having prepaid for the car) and that our only option was a downgrade, or we could pay an extra €200 fee for a larger car. The downgrade was too small so we paid the extra fee after 45 minutes of arguing with the staff. I’m very disappointed in the way the situation was handled. I’ve lodged a complaint with my credit card company.

The woman helping us at drop off was sooooo slow. And she didn’tfocus. There was a huge line and she got distracted with conversations. She tried to talk us into insurance which was annoying. Also tried to get us to upgrade. It took 1 hour total and that’s not acceptable. Other than that, all goes well.

The billing was absolutely absurd - Kayak offered me a rate of less than $50/day. Budget then added all these hidden fees — like a 130€ “location” fee for renting the vehicle for the airport. The final bill was more than 2x what Kayak had offered me.

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.

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 GPS

We rented a car for a month from FRA and the process was very easy. The rental drop off and pick up is within the terminal too so it convenient. They also offered full insurance coverage on the vehicle for a very reasonable price. The car was modern, clean and got 500 miles to the tank!
