Wilhelma in Spring

Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, because everything gets warmer and is thawing again from the cold winter. Beautiful flowers start to bloom again and the last snow melts to give us a first taste of the upcoming summer. The temperatures are neither too cold nor too hot, just simply enjoyable. Between the end of April and the beginning of May a Spring Festival takes place in Stuttgart, which is called Cannstatter Wasen. Though it is smaller than the Cannstatter Volksfest in autumn, it still is the biggest spring festival in Europe. In 2018 up to 1,6 million people visited the festival, which set a new record. With the rental car you can easily and flexibly get everywhere in spring, even to the Spring Festival.

Petrol stations near by the airport

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.

Book a rental car easily online

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.

Cancel rental car free of charge

With us you really have the option to cancel the booked rental car up to 24 hours before the pick-up. But please inform yourself before booking a rental car, because some rental companies have the option to cancel the rental car just up to 48 hours before the pick-up. If you cancel 72 hours before the pick-up, you can’t just write an e-mail, but you’re also obliged to call us and inform us by phone, so we can cancel the rental car for you without any problems.

One of the places of interest in Stuttgart, which you can reach quickly and cheaply with a rental car from your car rental company, is the birthplace of Gottlieb Daimler, the Mercedes-Benz museum, which was bought by Daimler Benz in 1979 and subsequently restored. Today, the building is a conference venue for Daimler AG and a museum at the same time. Among other things, the museum houses the journeyman's work, personal items and drawings by Gottlieb Daimler.

The sights in Stuttgart include for example, the Stuttgart State Gallery, which you can reach conveniently and inexpensively with your rental car.

There are currently around 800 works of art in the Staatsgalerie's collection. The Prints and Drawings collection contains 40,000 sheets. Each year, around eight exhibitions are held in the Staatsgalerie, including a comprehensive guided tour programme.

By rental car you can drive to Leonberg Castle, because there the castle Leonberg and the Pomeranzengarten invite you to a visit. The city was founded in 1248. The former town castle was turned into a castle by Aberlin Tretsch between 1560 and 1565. Park your rental car on the grounds of the castle and have a look at the beautiful terraced garden with the Pomeranian house and fountain.
The Pomeranian garden of the castle hasn’t been used a long time and was rebuild in 1980. It’s one of the few terraced gardens from the High Renaissance period that has survived in Europe. The beds offer a colorful variety of flowers, for example spice and medicinal plants. Enjoy your time in Stuttgart.
