Driving & Car Hire Tips

Car hire recommendations

Compact cars are a popular choice for easy navigation through the narrow streets of this cosy town. However, if you're planning to explore the glorious countryside, a SUV may be a better option.

Driving in Dippoldiswalde

In Germany, unlike in the UK, we drive on the right-hand side of the road. Also, remember that speed limits may vary. Typically, in urban areas, the limit is 50km/h, and on Autobahns (motorways), it's often unrestricted, although a recommended speed of 130km/h is suggested.
