The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Bielefeld are: Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Landcruiser, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Santa Fe, 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
Local drivers have completely different attitude to crossings that are located in narrow streets and start at entrances of buildings. All cars must stop before these crossings.
If a car stopped behind a tram, a driver must stop and wait until all passengers leave the road. Do not attempt to drive through the crowd of people – this would be a serious violation of local traffic regulations.
In some crossroads drivers are allowed to make a right turn during the red light. Such crossroads are marked with a green arrow. Drivers are allowed to make a turn only if this will not interfere with the main traffic. Such intersections are common in East Germany, but they are not so widespread in the western part.
