Nuances of hiring and using cars in Cologne

OrangeSmile provides one of the lowest rental prices on the worldwide market. You can save on your car hire in Cologne even more: (1) by renting your car purely at an airport with the pick-up/drop-off at daytime; (2) by keeping the pick-up and return at exactly the same rental location in Cologne; and (3) since rental prices in Germany are computed based on 24-hour interval, try to match this period and return your car just before your last 24-hour period expires.

Additional savings can be achieved by making your reservation few months in advance. Rental rates in Cologne increase as the rental date is approaching.

To avoid financial risks in case of an accident or a theft in Germany, we advise to order an insurance package with the full franchise coverage (Zero Excess). You can do it directly at the rental desk in Cologne, or during your booking time on our website.

Before visiting your rental office, prepare all the required papers that are specified in your voucher, plus, a printed map of Cologne. Pile the documents together to act quickly at the rental desk during pick-up.

Do not forget to examine the car conditions prior to leaving the rental parking in Cologne: wheels, windows and chassis for scratches and other defects. Check against your rental document whether all the defects are already specified.

Rental offices in Cologne are sometimes strict on delays in car return, therefore, always try to bring the car back to the rental office at the specified time.

Explore Cologne and Germany to the maximum, having your rental car as your friend always near!

The City Hall. The first documental record about the City Hall belongs to the period of 1135-1152. At that time is was called The Citizen House. When the city got the status of a free city-country, it was decided to add a tower to the City Hall. The tower has late gothic style and it's decorated with more than 130 stone statues. This is the building, where the well-known 'Platz-Jabbec' is located (it's a mystic face, which opens its month and shows its tongue every time the currants start ringing). In 1569 William Fernukker added a Renaissance outhouse to the front. This City Hall bower was saved during the Second World War; unfortunately we can't say the same about the building of the City Hall, which was destroyed by fire. The reconstruction of the building became the symbol of the revival of life. In 1950 Cologne craftsmen created the 'workshop of builders and stone dressers for the City Hall reconstruction'.

Louis Museum. Louis Museum is a great place to get acquainted with modern German art. The museum is situated behind Cologne Cathedral in the centre of the city. The museum exhibits works of different times, starting from the previous century till the present day. The section dedicated to American pop-art is the most famous one. It features the largest collection of works in this style outside the US. It contains works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns and Roy Fox Lichtenstein. There are also numerous works by Picasso.
