The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Dresden are: Toyota Landcruiser, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Tuscon, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, 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
All roads in Germany are toll free. Payments should be made only when entering the territory of special ecological zones (Umweltzone) that are located in the center of some large cities. Drivers will also need to pay for entering two large tunnels - Warnowtunnel and Herrentunnel.
Motorists, who expect to travel in the territory of ecological zones, must obtain a special «Plakette» sticker (the label is attached to the inner part of the windshield). It gives the right to enter the territory of Umweltzone zones in all cities of the country.
The stickers can be bought in special centers of technical inspection. The cost of such a sticker ranges from 5 to 15 euro, depending on the brand of a car (precisely, depending on the pollution produced by a particular car).
