The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Stuttgart are: BMW X3, BMW X5, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Suzuki Jimny 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
In case of a car accident the local police will be involved in the investigation only indirectly. Most of the work is done by employees of insurance companies. Police officers only make a protocol and transfer it to participants of an accident. The record of the accident recorded by DVR should also be given to insurance company officers.
Drivers of two-wheeled means of transport are full-right members of traffic, so they also have to pay heavy fines for violations of traffic regulations. Thus, fines can be issued for faulty brakes or a bell, for riding in the dark without a flashlight, and a number of other violations.
There are many service areas on autobahns. Each of them has its own name. As a rule, service areas are usually called after the names of nearby settlements, lakes or other geographic locations.
