They can all provide you with a wide range of cars from small, economical choice up to the luxury class. Bear in mind, in Germany, most cars have a manual transmission, unlike in the UK where automatic is more prevalent.

Fuelling up

Just a 5-minute drive away, the nearest petrol station to Dresden Airport is the Esso Station. Remember to check if your rental car uses petrol ('Benzin') or diesel as this can differ from the UK.

Driving in Germany

Drive on the Right

Unlike in the UK, in Germany, we drive on the right side of the road. Roundabouts may seem tricky at first as you'll need to give way to the left, but you'll soon get the hang of it.

Driving Routes and Destinations

From the Dresden airport, you can easily reach not only the city's historical city centre, but also surrounding cities such as Leipzig, only an hour and a half drive away, and the stunning Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

Welcoming Dresden

Climate

Dresden has a temperate seasonal climate. Expect warmer summers, with temperatures reaching up to 25°C, and colder winters around -1°C. Don't forget to pack accordingly!

Currency

Germany is part of the EU, and the main form of currency is the Euro (€). It's important to know that cash is still widely used in alot of places, differing from the favoured contactless payments in the UK.

Armed with these helpful tidbits, you're ready to hit the road and expore the wonders that abound in Dresden. Safe travels!

40 Experiences of our customers at the Dresden Airport

Rating of Alexander S.

“Despite the late pickup, we were received very friendly by a nice employee. She explained to us in detail the entire process until the return of the rental car. In addition, she offered us a car of a higher category with navigation for a small extra charge, which we gratefully accepted. The return of the vehicle went smoothly even outside the opening hours.”
