Car rental in Sinsheim

The driving experience in Sinsheim can be quite different from what you're used to in the UK, with the steering wheel on the left and driving on the right side of the road. But don't worry, you'll get the hang of it quickly!

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Remember, the general speed limit in cities is 50 km/h and 100 km/h outside built-up areas. The speed limit on Autobahns is advisory and usually not less than 130 km/h. Always keep an eye on traffic signs for the actual speed limit, as these may change.

Like in the UK, seat belts are to be worn at all times, and mobile phones can only be used with a hands-free system. Unlike in the UK, turning right on red is only allowed if there is a green arrow sign.

Parking

When it comes to parking, most places have paid parking. Some hotels offer parking spaces for their guests. So, it's worth checking with your accommodation.
