Fish Fountain Munich

Fish Fountain

Your journey around Munich is best started from the famous Marienplatz as it is the central square of the city. In medieval times, it was the place where jousting tournaments took place. At a stone’s throw from the square, you will see such great attractions as the New Town Hall, Old Town Hall, Virgin’s Column, and the Fish Fountain.

One of the most notable tourist attractions in Munich is Frauenkirche: the Cathedral Church of Our Lady. It is the most important metropolitan church in the whole region of Bavaria. The church was erected in 1488 and is a late-Gothic building. The interior features numerous decorative icons, frescos, and stunning religious works.

Anyone seeking some tranquillity inside the beautiful metropolis should head towards Munich’s English Garden. It is one of the most beautiful urban parks in the world. Originally a military garden, it is now a highlight of the city and attracts both holidaymakers and local residents with its 36 km of winding trails and pathways.

Families with children will be delighted to visit the Hellabrunn Zoo, which spreads across almost 90 acres. The zoo is one of the most visited attractions in the whole of Bavaria and is home to more than 19 000 animals. The zoo is known for attempting to replicate the conditions of various animals’ natural habitats.

Fans of art and history should not miss the Residenz Museum, the Deutsches Museum, the Treasury at the Residenz, the Old Picture Gallery, or the Bavarian National Museum.

What should I consider when booking a rental car in Munich?

⌃

The fair refueling policy 

Most car rental companies work with the fair refueling regulation. This means that you pick up your rental car with a full tank and return it with a full tank as well. The advantage is that you can start your trip directly after pickup.  

The right insurance  

We always recommend a fully comprehensive insurance without deductible. This way you are well covered in case of damage and do not have to expect additional costs. You should also make sure that your legal liability insurance has a high coverage amount. 

Consider young driver fee

Some car rental companies charge drivers under the age of 26 a so-called "young driver fee". In our offers the young driver fee is already included in the price if you have entered your correct age in our booking mask, 

Pick up or return outside opening hours

If you wish to pick up or return your rental car outside opening hours, you should clarify this with the car rental agency. Most car rental companies provide a safe where you can pick up or leave the keys. However, automatic rental should be announced in advance and approved by the car rental company.

Can I cancel my rental car free of charge?

⌃

You have the possibility to cancel the rental car free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the rental. So if you can not travel unexpectedly due to illness or other circumstances, you are always on the safe side with Driveboo.
