Cologne is one of the largest metropolises in Germany with more than one million inhabitants and can be discovered easily by rental car. Situated on the banks of the Rhine, the city looks back on almost 2000 years of history. Since the foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany, Cologne has been assigned to the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Every year, many tourists come to the Rhine metropolis because of its numerous historical sights. Every visitor to Cologne naturally wants to visit the city's landmark, the cathedral with its two 160-meter-high towers. Afterwards, many tourists explore the historic old town, stroll along the Rhine promenade or visit the numerous museums.
The city on the Rhine is frequented by foreigners all year round, but most people are attracted by the carnival in the cold season. Increasingly, many people are choosing to travel by plane, as Cologne-Bonn Airport, just a few kilometers from the city center, has excellent transport links. The airport is located between the two cities Cologne and Bonn. In the following we will inform you about the airport CGN Cologne, show you the special features in each terminal and explain where you can pick up your rental car at your preferred car rental company. Through our comparison portal, you can also book or rent a car particularly cheaply for a stay in the Rhine metropolis, as we work with every leading car rental company in Germany.
Coming from the baggage claim area in Terminal 2, you should ideally keep to the left and reach your car hire company in the car rental center set up there. Each provider has its own pick-up station, but it is just as centrally located as its office. After you have received the keys of your cheaply rented vehicle at the counter, you only have to cross the street and find the appropriate pick-up station in car park 2.
As a rule, you will receive your rental car at every car rental company at their pick-up station with a full tank of fuel and have to return the car with a full tank. The tank control system is used by most suppliers and requires a nearby filling station, which should also be open all the time. We can provide you with reassuring information in this respect: You will probably return your rental car to the same collection point where you received it.
To comply with the refueling regulations, drive to the Total petrol station at Cologne Airport. It is located less than one kilometer from car park 2 in Nordallee at the roundabout at car park 4 and is open 24 hours a day.
Of course, you must make sure that your car is in perfect condition at the pick-up point. It is in your own interest to test the functionality of all important operating elements and take a critical look at the bodywork. The reason for this is that you will be responsible for the rental car from the moment it is taken over and you will have to pay for the fines due to lighting that does not function properly. Furthermore, if you do not complain about existing scratches or dents in your car when you pick it up at the airport, the car rental company will make you liable as the party causing the damage and will have it repaired at your expense.
This could turn the perfectly reasonable approach of renting a car at the airport into an expensive adventure. At Cologne Bonn Airport, too, the following therefore applies: have all the deficiencies identified by you entered in a list and obtain a copy of the document. The original keeps your car rental.
Coming from the pick-up station in multi-storey car park 2, simply follow the one-way street and the signs to the airport exit. You will then reach the A 59 motorway and arrive in about 15 minutes at the center of Cologne.
Arrived from the airport in downtown Cologne, your rental car will take you either to the hotel or to the many exciting sights of the metropolis. As a rental car customer, you will certainly have no difficulty in participating in the traffic of the boiling big city, it will be driven according to traffic regulations valid throughout Germany, right and careful. The Cologne police, however, punish violations of speed limits and don't turn a blind eye to illegal parking. This will be confirmed by the airport car hire service.
The city's landmark is the cathedral in the center, an architectural masterpiece with two towers towering just under 160 meters high. In order that your intention to rent a car at the airport at a reasonable price will continue to ease your wallet, you should park your rental car in the nearby multi-storey car park. You will be compensated for the parking fees with a breathtaking view of the city center.
