The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Dortmund are: BMW X3, Toyota Rav4, Kia Sportage, Toyota Landcruiser, BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe 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 do not tolerate rudeness on the road, and they get even angrier than slow riders block their way. While driving, one should refrain from remarks and gestures that expose their dissatisfaction. Other drivers may make a complaint to the police, and the thug will get a large fine.
In order not to incur the wrath of German drivers, you should never "stand in the way" of Mercedes and BMW. These cars are regarded as privileged members of traffic in accordance with a non-principal rule.
When you stop your car, don’t forget to stop the engine as well. Local people care about the environment, so in some cities one can get a large fine simply for standing with the running engine.
