The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Berlin are: Toyota Landcruiser, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tuscon, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, Toyota Rav4 and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Germany ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Germany are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
For locals a personal car is more an element of high comfort than just a vehicle. Residents of big cities use private cars in exceptional cases, and in everyday life they try to use public transport.
There may be large traffic jams in the daytime in all large cities of the country. They start early in the morning – it may be hard to drive on the main city roads even at 7 am. These traffic jams “dissolve” only late at night. Traffic jams are particularly strong on roads of large cities of Germany during school holidays.
Cyclists are also full road users. There are special tracks for cyclists along some roads. When turning right, drivers should be very careful, because cyclists continue their movement at this time on the right lane.
