The station near Tegel has limited hours; there's another station at Nürnberger Straße 65, near the Kurfürstendamm retail district. Choices are quite limited, but if you want to rent from the smaller end of the car-size scale, that's part of what Sixti is all about. For regular rental companies, Sixt and Budget seem to offer the best rates in Germany. I've used Auto Europe in the past; not bad, but not necessarily the lowest rates every time. -- dgs "What, and join in your mad squid kettle games?" -- Lew Bryson |

Hi Elliot, check http://www.interrent.de You´ll get a car from € 8.99, 250 km included. The car rental office is situated near "Bahnhof Zoo", and can easily be reached by Express Bus X 9 from the airport. The bus departs every 10 minutes, the trip takes 20 minutes. Regards Peter |

Check out Autoeurope, but also use a reservation portal, such as
Expedia, Travelocity or Orbitz to get a list of three or four agencies and then go to their websites for a quote. Sometimes, direct internet reservations are a better deal. This is perfect advice. One more thing: when I check AutoEurope rates (and other major portals) I compare logging in as a U.S. booker versus logging in to the German version of the site (which would type in with a .de suffix instead of a .com suffix), the rates tend to be different (sometimes VERY different), and when booking with the .de version it usually fully includes CDW and sometimes theft insurance at a rate that is often lower than the U.S. version which doesn't even include the insurance (I think this is due to a government policy that they must include it for .de rentals). I have never had a problem with bookings made using the .de versions of the websites, and have scoured the fine print and have never come up with a caveat that says that this is not permissable for me as a U.S. resident to do so. One German company that offers similar rates to autoeurope.de , www.avigo.de even replied to an e-mal to tell me that there was no problem booking directly through them with at their .de website even though I reside in America and am using an American credit card to pay (this is often NOT true when booking a car in the U.S. using a UK or DE website--there the fine print usuall specifies that you will be denied the excellent rate you booked through a DE or UK at the point of purchase if you turn up at the U.S. location with a U.S. drivers license). |
