Top tips for hiring a car in Bavaria

  • Munich Airport (MUC) is the state of Bavaria's major airport, and you'll be glad to know that you can rent a car from the airport to your intended destination. Upon arrival at MUC, find the plaza situated between Terminals 1 and 2, where you’ll find the car rental counters from which you can select your rental provider and complete the rental paperwork. The rental cars are kept in the airport's parking lot, which is within convenient walking distance of the arrivals terminal, so there is no need to take a shuttle.
  • Driving in Bavaria can be difficult, requiring a high level of vigilance and tolerance. The region's narrow streets and heavy traffic can cause congestion and delays, necessitating constant vigilance for unexpected pauses and starts, especially during rush hours. In the mornings, the rush hour usually takes place between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., while in the late afternoon the rush hour begins around 4:30 p.m. and continues until 6:30 p.m. During these periods, Bavaria's major roads, such as the A9 Autobahn and the A8, experience heavy traffic congestion.
  • The ideal vehicle model for driving in Bavaria would be one that is great in both performance and comfort while also accommodating the region's unique driving conditions. Bavaria's mountainous landscapes necessitate a vehicle with adaptability. Therefore, an SUV or a compact car would be ideal. An SUV features high ground clearance, so it would be suitable for the region’s mountainous roads. Compact cars are fuel-efficient, allowing for extended trips without frequent refueling, and they also offer a balance between maneuverability and comfort, permitting easy navigation through the region's narrow streets.
  • In Bavaria, children under the age of 12 and less than 1.50 meters (59 inches) in height must travel in approved car seats or boosters. If all other child restraints are in use, the child may travel in the back seat with a seat belt. Children under the age of three may not be in a moving car without an appropriate car seat, and rear-facing infant seats are not permitted in the front of an airbag-equipped vehicle. While on vacation in Bavaria, Germany, it would be prudent to bring your own car seat for a young child and to inquire in advance about available car seats.
