Where can I refuel my rental car in Hamburg?

Be aware of the refueling policy for your rental car

If you rent a car online before starting your trip cheap, there are usually offers for a so-called fuel regulation available. About this you can decide whether you want to rent your car with a full or nearly empty tank.
If you rent a car cheaply without a full tank, it is important to know that you can already find a fuel station at Langenhorner Chaussee 38 in about 700 meters distance. Here you drive from the parking lot of the car rental via Flughafenstraße in the direction of Langenhorn and automatically reach Langenhorner Chaussee.

Make sure that any refueling arrangement that has not been adhered to should be recorded in writing by the car rental company. As a rule, you must return the rental car with the same tank content again at the pick-up station or at the airport Hamburg, with which you have received it. However, if the rental car contains less gasoline than booked online, you do not need to return the rental car with a full tank.
