Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Schalke car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has details about cancellations. In most situations, full refunds are available if a booking is cancelled more than six hours before the collection time. Be sure to read your car rental agreement to double-check if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Schalke?
Full of style and luxuries, it's not surprising full-size is the preferred rental type in Schalke. These rides often include sunroofs, leather seats and powerful engines. Then there's that generous space — space for the suitcases, kids and for any purchases you collect on your travels. Prefer something else? We have economy cars, compacts and stylish premium rides as well. Wherever you're going, we'll have a rental that'll meet your needs and budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Schalke?
When you've visited all of the amazing sights in Schalke, there's more to explore in the surrounding area. Grab the keys to a rental car, stow your luggage in the trunk and get on the road. Here are some road trips you're sure to enjoy:

  • Head off to Moenchengladbach for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Roughly 56 kilometres from Schalke, it's home to many cool attractions such as Borussia Park.
  • Roughly 193 kilometres away, Frankfurt is also popular with wanderers. Make sure you check out Deutsche Bank Park while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Wilhelma Zoo. You'll find it approximately 338 kilometres from Schalke.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Schalke?
The minimum age is 18. But there are a handful of age-related restrictions to bear in mind before reserving your Schalke wheels. If you're a younger motorist, most rental suppliers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can rent. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between companies. Take the time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Schalke?
You'll generally require a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental companies, so it's a good idea to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Schalke?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Germany — the same side as in the U.S. Travelling around Schalke won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend familiarising yourself with the local traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Schalke?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then reserve your perfect ride. Whether you're staying in Schalke or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Schalke car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Schalke providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
