Here you can arrange a booking with reputable companies like Sixt, Europcar and Hertz/Dollar/Thrifty. If you’d like some more options, also check out Budget and Avis.
What happens if I need to cancel my Cologne car reservation?

Can I drive in Cologne with my U.S. Driver's license?
The good news is yes. The streets of Cologne await and a valid U.S. License is all you need to discover them on four wheels. Before your departure date, consider applying for an International Driving Permit as another valid proof of identity.

Where can I find a Cologne car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Cologne rental suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25, some outlets will charge extra costs. It’s ideal to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
