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 Eisenach.
Before leaving the parking garage in Eisenach, 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.

Popular questions on rental process
Leaving au autobahn is one of the most dangerous maneuvers. Moving in unison with fast traffic can sometimes be very difficult. However, among local drivers there are usually many good people, who are always ready to give way to a timid beginner. If you want to thank them, simply raise your hand.
If you cannot enter an autobahn for a long time, do not honk and flash with your beams. Such a behavior is considered to be good enough only for truckers. Other drivers must wait patiently and hurry up if a favorable situation for a maneuver occurs.
If a ride on local autobahns brings a lot of worries and there is no confidence in making a successful and safe ride, it is better to use secondary routes. Many of them run through very scenic areas.
