Car rental in Aue

Adventuring through Aue in a rental car provides an unmatched sense of freedom. You could opt for a robust SUV to explore the surrounding mountains, a compact city car for easy parking in town, or even a luxury vehicle for that extra touch of comfort.

Mobility and Parking

Driving in Aue is straightforward, with clearly signposted roads. Free parking is available in many spots, but do keep an eye for 'Parkschein' signs indicating pay-and-display areas.

Right Hand Drive vs. Left Hand Drive

Unlike the UK, traffic in Germany moves on the right-hand side of the road. This means the driver's seat and controls in your rental car will be on the left-hand side. Adaptation might take a short while, but rest assured, you will soon get into the groove.

Attractions in Aue

Aue offers a variety of attractions for visitors. The city's rich mining heritage is showcased in the historic Erzgebirge Museum. The 'Auerhammer' is a historical metal hammer mill you can visit too. If you're a fan of football, don't miss an opportunity to see a match at Sparkassen-Erzgebirgsstadion, home to FC Erzgebirge Aue.

Driving Routes

Your car journey can take you through picturesque landscapes all around. Route B169 will take you towards Zwickau, offering scenic views of the Mulde River. Route S255 heads towards Annaberg, crossing through dense, beautiful forests.

Speed limits and Traffic Rules

In Germany, different road types have different speed limits. Generally, inside towns the limit is 50 km/h (30 mph), outside town it's 100 km/h (60 mph), and on the autobahn, it's typically 130 km/h (80 mph) – conditions regulating.

Be aware of priority from the right rule on most urban roads, unless marked otherwise. And, unlike UK roundabouts, on German ones, there’s priority for those already on the roundabout.

Climate, Currency and More

The climate here is moderate, slightly chillier than the UK. In terms of currency, Germany uses Euros (€) rather than GBP (£). Although most places accept credit and debit cards, it's always handy to have some cash for smaller establishments or street vendors.
