Car rental in Coesfeld

Car Hire

There's a range of car classes available for hire, from compact for the solo traveller to SUVs for families or groups. However, Coesfeld's town centre can have narrow streets similar to many British towns, so a smaller car may be preferable for the first-time driver in Germany.

Driving in Coesfeld

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Germany's autobahns have sections with no speed limit, a stark difference from UK's fixed speed limits. Always keep an eye out for signage indicating variable speed limits, especially during bad weather or high traffic. In Coesfeld and other urban areas, the typical speed limit is 50 km/h. Don't forget in Germany you drive on the right, so stay aware particularly at roundabouts and junctions.

Parking

Like many European towns, parking in the town centre can be a challenge. A useful tip is to look for "Parkhaus" or "Parking", which indicates a public parking garage. Always get an "Parkschein" (parking ticket) if it's not a free parking area.

Attractions

Feed your adventurous spirit with a visit to some of Coesfeld's attractions. Wander around the Stadt Park, or explore the history of the area at the local museum, the Konvikt. Coesfeld's beautiful churches, such as St. Lambert Kirche and St. Jakobi are also a must-see. Lastly, don't miss out on a relaxing break at the town's cosy coffee shops and bakeries, perfect for that afternoon treat.
