Car Rental in Darmstadt

Minivan rental in Darmstadt

Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Darmstadt are: Mercedes Viano 8 Seater, Opel Zafira, VW Touran, Citroen Jumper 8 seater, Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mercedes Vito and others.

Standard capacity of a minivan in Germany is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in Germany a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Darmstadt.

Before leaving the parking garage in Darmstadt, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a great driving experience on the roads of Germany!

In addition to fuel stations, shops and small restaurants, service areas are often equipped with hotels. For an extra charge tourists will be provided with a shower and all conditions for a comfortable and proper relaxation.
All autobahn exits have a unique number, so it’s really difficult to get lost on the road. Autobahn billboards are also very helpful. They specify the nearby settlements (the closest one would be listed at the bottom).
Radar control is not a secret on local roads - the presence of checkpoints is indicated by special characters. Skipping such a sign is almost impossible because it is repeated close to the radar.

Travelling in minivan through Darmstadt
Those who love street theaters should come to Darmstadt in early August when Just for Fun starts. The Art Nouveau central streets of the city become the stage. Here you can see a variety of theater genres - performances, drama, pantomime. Its participants are actors arriving from absolutely different parts of the world - Europe, Asia, South and North Americas. This is one of the biggest events in the life of Darmstadt, which is never missed by holidaymakers. And if you visit Darmstadt a bit earlier, you can witness the Merck-Sommerperlen open-air festival where you can listen to country music, alternative metal, indie, jazz, pop. The venue is Centralstation.
The Art Nouveau city hosts two interesting fairs apart from the Christmas one. These are the Arts and Crafts Market taking place in mid-August where, as the name suggests, you can buy all kinds of hand-made products, and the Darmstadt Autumn Fair starting in mid-September and lasting until the beginning of October. Here you can buy products of the autumn season, and for locals, this is another reason to meet friends and acquaintances and, of course, have a good time.

In late August, gourmets gather at the Wine Festival Darmstadt where, as you might guess, visitors have a chance to taste the best wines from local producers. In addition, you can try all sorts of beer snacks. Centralstation serves as the venue. We can't fail to mention Weihnachtsmarkt that opens in Darmstadt in late November and lasts until Christmas on Ernst-Ludwig-Platz, Friedensplatz, Luisenplatz and, of course, Marketplatz. The atmosphere inherent in the pre-holiday mood cannot be confused with anything else - at this time all passers-by look like fantastic characters from a Christmas fairy tale. What if they really are?
