KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

  • Car hire in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a fantastic way to enjoy this Bavarian alpine ski resort nestled in the valley of the Ester Mountains, Ammergau Alps and Wetterstein Mountains. With some of Europe’s most beautiful natural views, you will be immersed in pure beauty whilst enjoying winter sports, amazing Bavarian gastronomy and an ancient atmosphere still held onto by the residents of the conjoined villages of Garmisch and Partenkirchen. Drive up to see the fairy-tale castles of Linderhof and Neuschwanstein, admire the ‘air paintings’ along the architecture on Ludwigstrasse and take your hire car up mountain roads to capture this incredible part of Germany from the sky. If you are looking for a few days of city life, Munich is only about 1h 30 min away.
  • When arriving in Germany, you will probably land at Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport (MUC), where you can find many options for Garmisch-Partenkirchen car hire. The car hire companies are based inside the airport at Terminalstraße Mitte, and here you’ll find SIXT, Alamo, OK Mobility, Virtuo, Budget, Avis, Europcar, Enterprise and others. Ensure you have booked your accessories, such as snow chains or tyres and a GPS. You will then make your way on the A95 towards Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
  • Using car hire in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, you’ll be driving on the right-hand side of the road. The roads are considered good, despite many of them being winding and the outer areas very hilly. In the town centre, while flatter, the road surfaces are often cobbled and very narrow. You’ll need to keep your blood alcohol limit below 0.05% when driving in Bavaria. Brush up on some basic German to understand road signs and don’t be afraid of the autobahn when coming into the town, as it is famous for the ‘unlimited’ speed limit in the far lane for applicable cars. The town attracts many European tourists, meaning your fellow driving peers won’t all be local, so stay safe and comfortable on the roads.
  • With car hire in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the biggest challenges for UK drivers will be the terrain and extreme weather. Even in summer, Garmisch-Partenkirchen experiences a lot of rain, but winter involves much heavier snow than you may be used to. It is vital your vehicle is prepared for it with snow chains and a scraper – and never leave your car outside overnight. German hire cars are usually manual. This will be a big help with mountain roads, but if you are more comfortable with automatic vehicles, make sure your car hire company can provide one. Watch out for wildlife on mountain roads such as free-roaming deer. Traffic won’t usually be an issue in this small town, but during peak winter sports events, a GPS will come in handy to alert you to congestion.
  • Compact rental cars in Garmisch-Partenkirchen are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average
