A lot of people think that you can’t have a good vacation in a big city in winter, which is wrong. The winter can be as pleasant as summer, you just have to plan it good. Since it can be really cold in Germany it would be an advantage to spend the days indoors. On the one hand you can visit the library of Stuttgart, which is going to be one of the most beautiful, modern libraries you’ll ever see. Or spend a day in a spa and warm up in a hot bath or a sauna. You can also do a mulled wine tour or take a trip through the galaxy in the planetarium. The highlight in Stuttgart in winter is definitely the Christmas market, you can’t go wrong with a visit there. The market extends in the Königsstraße in front of the Königsbau and lightens up the city with lots of fairy lights and a huge Christmas tree in the middle. There you can eat and drink a lot, and buy or just look at little handmade things.
Stuttgart Airport is the largest of a total of three airports in Baden-Württemberg. It is located twelve kilometers from the city center of Stuttgart. Aircraft from all major airports in Germany land in Stuttgart. The flight from Stuttgart to Hamburg takes only one hour and fifteen minutes. In the meantime, numerous low-cost flights are also landing in this airport. You can pick up your reserved rental car at the airport and explore the city in comfort. The airport's IATA code is STR.
On the grounds of the airport is an OMV fuel station located, which is open 24/7. There you can fuel your rental car after you picked it up, so you can explore Stuttgart and surroundings right away. If you chose the best fuel option (full/full) at the online booking, you can fill the rental car before returning it here at the OMV fuel station. Put notice, that if you return the car empty, without fueling it first, even though you chose the best fuel option (full/full), the rental company will keep a small amount of the deposit.
You can find a rental car easily on our website. You just indicate the filters that match your perception. Those filters include the vehicle class and type, included services and insurance benefits as well as vehicle characteristics. You also specify with how many people you are traveling and if one of your companions has a driving license, we recommend that you include an additional driver. This additional driver is also eligible to drive the rental car, so the insurances count for the person. So you can take turns with driving and you don’t have to drive all the time by yourself. You also have the option to chose one of our three service packages instead of filtering everything individually.
Service package 1 (Base) | Service package 2 (Plus) | Service package 3 (All-round carefree) |
