Where is Aachen located? The city is located in North Rhine-Westphalia in the center of the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion. It is the westernmost major city in Germany and borders directly on Belgium and the Netherlands. If you arrive via Cologne-Bonn Airport (CGN), you can already hire your car there and drive yourself to Aachen, which is about 90 kilometers away. This way you can plan your journey individually.

The landmark of the city is the Aachen Cathedral. The monumental building is composed of several partial buildings that date back to different eras. In the treasury you can see valuable pieces such as crosses, relics, textiles and shrines. Aachen Cathedral and the Treasury are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. If you drive to the cathedral in your hired car, you can then visit the nearby Aachen City Hall, which is also located in the old town. It was built in the Gothic style and has, among other things, an impressive coronation banquet hall.

If you are in the mood for nature, you will quickly find it in Aachen. With the hired car you drive cheaply to the Aachen forest. The local recreation area is home to numerous hiking trails as well as a bike park, a forest stadium, several riding trails and a ropes course. The city also includes various parks such as the Elisengarten, which houses the classicist Elisenbrunnen fountain. Here, the warm water of the Kaiser Spring bubbles to the surface. Other thermal springs can be found in the Burtscheid spa park, for example. Animal lovers can see more than 200 species at Aachen's Euregiozoo animal park.

Hire a car to drive around Aachen and explore the Rhineland. Park your hired car and go for a hike in the Eifel, which is part of the Rhenish Slate Mountains. For example, visit the Rurtalsperre or the Vulkaneifel Nature Park. A trip to the Jülich-Zülpicher Börde is also recommended. In this vast stretch of land, you can discover Roman milestones, historic windmills and several moated castles, among other things. If you want to get to know other cities, you can reach Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf, for example, quickly and cheaply by car from Aachen.

Also explore the versatility of Europe with your hired car and drive to Liège or Verviers in Belgium, for example. You can also drive comfortably to neighboring Maastricht in the Netherlands. Other Dutch cities such as Heerlen are also just a short drive away. However, notify your car hire company in advance if you plan to drive abroad.

Insurance

Before you drive off with your hired car, you should cover yourself with liability insurance. When choosing an insurance policy, make sure you have a sufficiently high coverage amount of at least one million euros. We also recommend you to insure your car with a fully comprehensive insurance without excess.

An additional driver

Travelling in company is especially fun. You can also register your companion as an additional driver within your hired car. This person is then also authorized to drive the hired car. Compare the different offers on our portal to find out which rental companies charge a daily fee per additional driver and with which providers this service is already included in the price. It may also happen that a car hire company has set a minimum age for additional drivers.
