The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Bochum are: BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe, Suzuki Jimny, Hyundai Tuscon, BMW X3, 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
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.
Particular attention should be paid when approaching a pedestrian crossing. In Germany, they have purely "precautious" nature. When stopping at a crossing, do not expect that a car that moves behind will stop too. Therefore, do not forget to look in the rear-view mirror.
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.
