KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Leipzig
- By using a car hire in Leipzig, you can take control and explore the 297 km squared area of the city at your own leisure. By driving a car hire in Leipzig, you can choose where you go, when you go and how long you stay there for without having to worry about the restrictions of the timetable for the local public transport. This will allow you the freedom to explore the nearby forests, or visit the closest cities, such as Dresden or Berlin.
- The nearest airport to Leipzig is the Leipzig Airport (LES), which has plenty of car rental companies to choose from that will allow you to explore the local area in your Leipzig car hire. You can choose form Sunnycars, Thrifty, Enterprise, Alamo, and Avis. To find the car rental offices, you should follow the signs for the car rental area ,which is located within Terminal B. The opening hours may vary depending on the car rental company, so we recommend that you investigate this when planning your trip.
- When driving your car hire in Leipzig, you will need to follow the national driving laws of Germany. You must drive on the right-hand side of the road, and you can only turn right at a red light if you have permission from a designated filter light. Be careful as you drive through built-up areas of the city, as this is where jaywalking is more typical, and you have a responsibility for the health and safety of the pedestrians when you are behind the wheel, even if they cross somewhere illegally.
- Leipzig gets both hot and cold weather, so depending on when you go, you should be prepared to check that your car hire in Leipzig has all of the required equipment. In summer it is hot so we recommend that you check your coolant liquid levels and your tyre pressure, while in winter you may encounter snow and be required to install snow chains or snow tyres on your vehicle. All of this can make driving in Leipzig more complicated, particularly in the busiest parts of the city, such as the city centre, or during rush hour, which is normally before and after the typical office or school hours.
- Book your car hire in Leipzig at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy hire cars in Leipzig are around 9% more expensive than other car types, on average
