Spring in Frankfurt am Main

Spring has the most pleasant temperatures when the last snow of the winter is melting and nature is coming back to life. The temperatures are getting warmer you can do more than in winter. Slowly cafés and restaurants are opening their outdoor areas and you can sit in a beer garden to enjoy a cool beer and the beautiful weather, like for example in Deck 8. Now you can slowly go to a park and spontaneously grill there, or just sit at the Main and enjoy the view. As in many large cities in Germany, a spring festival takes places in Frankfurt, which is called the Dippemess. There you can ride a Ferris wheel, try different dishes and drive a lot of roller coasters. It takes places in April, but alternatively also in September.

Choose fully comprehensive insurance without excess when hiring a car

As insurance, we recommend that you take out fully comprehensive insurance without excess. In the event of damage, you will be completely insured. In the case of fully comprehensive insurance without excess, no insurance fee is incurred when booking. If you cause a scratch, the rental company will deduct the cost of repairing the damage from your deposit. You can contact your broker after that and submit the damage invoice and damage report to the car hire company in due time. You will find the deadlines in the rental conditions. The agent will then reimburse you the fee paid. In the case of fully comprehensive insurance without excess, there are no further costs for you.

Car hire Frankfurt: What do I need to consider when making a deposit?

When you pick up your hired car at the car hire company, you have to pay the deposit at the same time. It is usually debited directly from your credit card but can also be paid in cash. The amount of the deposit varies and depends on factors such as the landlord and the vehicle. Compare all offers to hire your dream car at a good price on our portal. Brokers who offer a rental car without a deposit should be avoided. These are usually dubious offers, as the deposit serves the landlord as security. If you return the car in time and without damage to the rental company, the entire deposit will be refunded within a few days.

What are the options for my rental car?

By small car through the big city

Enough space in the minivan

Safe journey with the SUV

For those who want to do a road trip to Frankfurt with a rental car, the one-way rental might be the best option. This means that you can pick up your rental car at the location of your choice and return it conveniently to another location. This is particularly useful if you are heading for cities that are far away from each other, for example to Berlin or Hamburg.

What does the additional driver option actually mean? If you specify another person as an additional driver when booking, you can take turns driving the rental car. Distances in Germany can be very long. If only one person drives the rental car, this can be quite exhausting. So that the driver can sit back and relax, too, you can simply hand over the steering wheel to the additional driver.

With the right insurance through Frankfurt

Even if you drive very carefully and safely, damage may occur to the rental car. To ensure that you can continue your journey without stress, we recommend that you take out fully comprehensive insurance without excess. In the event of damage, you will have to advance the costs. However, you will be reimbursed by your insurance company after your arrival back home. Simply submit the relevant receipts when you return from Germany.
