Frequently Asked Questions

Prices can vary based on the company, the season, and the vehicle, but most locations offer discounts if you reserve a car prior to your arrival in Heidelberg. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 14$ to 30$ per day. Larger cars can be more expensive due to their higher fuel consumption, so you may want to choose a smaller vehicle, which will also be advantageous on narrower roads.
There is always an increase in demand for car rentals in Heidelberg during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Heidelberg.

Third-party liability insurance is mandatory in Heidelberg for any car rental. This is typically offered at no extra cost with most rental car agencies.
You should consider getting a CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and theft insurance, although it's not required. If you want to upgrade your coverage, the ideal time to do so is when you first make your reservation.

Car rental insurance

When traveling, renting a car is nearly always a good decision because it allows you to see sites at your own pace and on your own schedule. It's always nice to be able to avoid crowded bus or rail times and go in the early morning or late at night if it suits you better.

Choose a car based on what you want to do on your trip. Small cars like the VW Polo or Ford Ka can be used to get around the city and its surroundings.
The Mercedes CLA is the most popular car in the Standard category. Its starting price is 22$ per day from EAST COAST, and its rating average is 9 based on more than 1000 customer reviews. Toyota Rav-4 from EUROPCAR is the most reasonably priced rental vehicle in Heidelberg. Just 26$ per day is the cost.
Most of the rental cars in Heidelberg are manual. Automatic cars cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

According to the rental policies of all car rental agencies, you can book the vehicle's essential features, but not a specific model. Because a specific model can break, be involved in an accident, be held by the prior tenant, etc. Your voucher will have a code that specifies the major parameters (e.g. CDAR). The following table provides code decoding:

Car rental models

A credit card is required by almost all rental companies. Cards that are electronic, virtual, or debit may not be accepted. If you acquire complete insurance coverage straight from the rental company's office, certain firms may, as an exception, take a debit card.
