Car Rental in Dresden

Minivan rental in Dresden

Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Dresden are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Mercedes Viano 8 Seater, Mercedes Vito, Opel Zafira, Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Touran 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 Dresden.

Before leaving the parking garage in Dresden, 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.

Note that passing the driving license exam in Germany is rather difficult. Questions of examiners may seem impossible to answer even for experienced drivers, who successfully obtained a driving license in other countries. This partially explains high skills of local motorists.
Drivers from other countries will find it difficult to get used to the local road signs that indicate the speed limit. For example, if the sign has a mark of 130 km/h, it is intuitively clear that one cannot exceed the mentioned speed. However, the speed lower than the indicated one is also considered unacceptable, because slow drivers cause troubles for cars that follow it.
If you plan to make a long trip, make sure you fill the tank with a reserve. Drivers should take into account the fact that there is a risk to get into a big traffic jam and consume a lot more fuel than expected. If a driver suddenly runs out of fuel and this causes road congestion, this driver will be issued a large fine.

Travelling in minivan through Dresden
Frauenkirche – one of the most important symbols of Dresden – attracts hundreds of tourists from all over the world. Despite the fact that the building was almost completely restored after the tragic events of the Second World War, the church continues to impress with its magnificence and monumentality – both on the outside and inside. Any visitor who happens to climb to the very top of the cathedral, gains the unique opportunity of having a view of the magnificent panorama of the city from it. “Zwinger” is another landmark of the city that will astonish you with its ensemble of buildings. It should therefore not be considered an idle talk when you hear people say that all roads in Dresden lead to Zwinger. There are four museums here: Porzellansammlung, Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon, Nymphenbad and Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, as well as the majestic Kronentor building.

It is definitely necessary to conduct a good walk on Altmarkt or Neumarkt. These are just the places where the life of the city simply “boils”. The numerous restaurants, bars, shops, which you will come across on your way, are nothing short of the realest works of architectural art, and you can be sure to find them truly adorable. Numerous fountains and sculptural compositions are of a remarkable quality in the city on the Elbe River. The most famous monuments are memorials to Martin Luther, Gottfried Semper, Friedrich Schiller, court jester Joseph Froehlich, a statue of King John, as well as sculptural compositions “Baccus auf dem betrunkenen Esel” and “Alter Bock auf Säule”.
