What do you need to rent a car in Gelsenkirchen?

Can I drive in Gelsenkirchen with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, provided that your U.S. License is current. But consider getting an International Driving Permit anyway. They’re quite easy to get, and with one, you’re permitted to drive in other places if your vacation plans take you beyond Gelsenkirchen.

Yes. Expedia partners with reputable providers that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every square inch of Gelsenkirchen — or beyond!
Where can I find a Gelsenkirchen car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Gelsenkirchen supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just keep in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
