Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Blagnac Airport (TLS)?
Yes, and you won’t be short on choice. After arriving at Blagnac Airport (TLS), make your way to the rental car center in the arrivals hall. Here you can get your transport sorted with reputable companies like Goldcar, Europcar and Avis/Budget. If you’re after more options, check out the deals from Sixt and Hertz.
What happens if I need to cancel my Cologne car reservation?
We all have times when plans get upended. That’s why we give your money back on the majority of bookings if canceled six hours in advance of the pickup time. Remember to double-check your rental agreement — in some cases it’s not offered. Can’t find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.

What do you need to rent a car in Cologne?
Renting a car in Cologne is simple. Usually, all that’s required is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. After selecting your favorite set of wheels, look up the terms and conditions to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
Can I drive in Cologne with my U.S. Driver's license?
Certainly, provided that your license is valid. But consider getting an International Driving Permit regardless. They’re fairly easy to get, and with one, you’ll be fine to drive in other places if your vacation plans extend beyond Cologne.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cologne?
You can. We partner with quality providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Cologne — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Cologne car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little homework. Found a Cologne supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re interested in should have all the details you need.
