Car rental in Bad Nauheim

Shifting gears from the roads of Britain to those in Germany necessitates mentally flipping your driving side – you’ll need to drive on the right here. Please also remember that the driver’s seat is also on the left.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

• Urban areas: Typically, the speed limit is 50 km/h.
• Non-urban areas: Here, the speed limit can range from 80 km/h to 100 km/h.
• Autobahn (Motorways): Interestingly, some sections of Autobahn do not have an official speed limit, though the advised speed is 130 km/h.

Traffic signals and rules are universal, but the priority to the right rule comes into play at intersections unless otherwise marked. This rule mandates giving way to vehicles coming from the right.

Car Rental

Automatic vehicles are not as popular in Germany as in Britain, so make sure to specify your preference while booking. Typically, compacts like Volkswagen Golf or Ford Focus are a good choice for zipping around town.

Climate and Best Time to Visit
