KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Aachen

  • Car hire in Aachen gives you the unique opportunity to move around one of the oldest empires in Europe without having to rely on the schedule of other people or public transport. Even if driving around Aachen isn't what you want a car for, there are various nearby day trips worth taking that are much easier with a personal vehicle, including cities like Cologne, Brussels and Maastricht. If you prefer smaller towns, you can take a trip to the quaint area of Spa, or take a roughly 30min drive to Liege and then move through to the historic town of Leuven.
  • Although there isn't an airport where you'll find a car hire in Aachen, you're likely to land at Dusseldorf Airport (DUS), which is roughly an hour's drive away and the ideal place to pick up an Aachen car hire. You'll find the car hire desks located in the Arrivals hall of the main terminal, as you leave the luggage claim area. At the desks, you'll be able to order the car that suits you best and receive the keys. From there, you'll go to the hire car park with one of the employees and perform a final check on the car before leaving the airport.
  • There isn't much to know about driving in Aachen, except that the city is suited to almost any vehicle, but because it's a low-emission zone, only certain vehicles are allowed into the city. You'll have to drive your car hire in Aachen on the right-hand side of the road and pass on the left. Make way for public transport, and explore the city on foot as much as you can. Reserve your car hire for day trips.
  • One difficulty when it comes to driving in the city and hiring a car is the low-emission zone. To enter the city with a car, you must have a green badge, which means the car must adhere to certain limits of emission production. This is reserved mostly for hybrid or electric vehicles. The city's public transport is served by a large fleet of intercity buses that run frequently, which can be difficult to navigate around and can cause traffic jams during peak-hour traffic.
  • Book your rental car in Aachen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in Aachen are around 74% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Aachen?

    As Aachen is a low-emission zone, you must pick up a car hire that adheres to the requirements if you plan on driving around in the city. You'll need to find a hybrid car, preferably one that comes with a green badge or you won't be permitted to enter the city. Smaller, compact models also produce fewer emissions, which are beneficial to driving in a low-emission city. If you're looking to save money, consider using the hired car for long trips and public transport while inside the city.

  • What’s the speed limit in Aachen?

    Aachen has the same road rules as the rest of Germany, which are important to know in the country. Inside the city, you'll be limited to 50 km/h on most of the roads, with a limit of 30 km/h on some smaller roads and roads near schools. Outside the city, the speed limit is usually between 80 km/h and 100 km/h. If you find yourself travelling on a major highway like the autobahn, the speed limit will be 130 km/h. Many cities are pushing for a 30 km/h speed limit, so this might change.

  • Where are the best places to park in Aachen?

    Finding parking in Aachen won't be much of a problem, as there aren't too many vehicles in the city thanks to the low-emission status. There are at least 24 multi-storey car parks in the city that can house more than 9,000 cars. These are all paid-for parking, where you'll need to get a ticket and pay before leaving. If you're parking outside of the city, stick with park-and-ride centres or the APAG Parkplatz am Ludwig Forum parking.

Passport was required to rent the car — although not mentioned anywhere. In result, I had to go back and forth twice. Compact size was unavailable — they gave me “free upgrade”. It’s nice but resulted in increasing the fuel cost. Why couldn’t I just have what I reserved?! They couldn’t find my reservation right away, only after a lengthy search. The mileage was wrong, it’s good I saw it and requested to change to unlimited. The system kept glitching so they had to enter my info over and over several times. Everything took a while, I wasted at least 45 minutes on this rather simple process of renting a car. VERY SLOW!!!

Overall, excellent experience with the exception of billing. SIXT tried to charge me 3X the average cost of the long term rental for adding a single day. The representative who assisted me took the issue up with his manager and the company confirmed a new rate by email. Unfortunately, their main system did not reflect this rate change and, despite multiple calls with assurances from SIXT that they would refund the difference, it took forever to get any refund and this was nearly US$100 less than promised. Very disappointing (and not responsive post hiring). Never again!
