Car rental in Verden

Riding on the Right, European Style

Unlike in the UK where driving is on the left, in Germany, and of course Verden, we drive on the right-hand side of the road. Always remember this when approaching roundabouts and junctions.

Vital Traffic Rules & Regulations

Speed limits in Germany vary. In urban areas, such as inside Verden, the limit is usually 50 km/h (approx. 31 mph). On open roads, you're allowed to notch up to 100 km/h (approx. 62 mph).

Some Important Laws

• Seatbelts are compulsory for everyone in the car.
• No talking on handheld phones while driving.
• Zero tolerance for drink-driving under the age of 21 and/or for drivers with less than two years of experience.

Car Class Recommendations

Compact and economy cars are perfect for solo travellers and couples without much luggage. Families or groups may prefer the extra space provided by an estate or SUV.

Where to Go

Stroll into the past at the Dom zu Verden. Witness the grandeur of the St. Andreas Church, the Rote Spitzen, and the Lüneburger Heide. Nature lovers can't miss the verdant magic of the Magic Park.

Verden Surroundings

• Dash to coastline for a sunbath at the beaches of the North Sea.
• Just an hour's drive, visit the sprawling metropolis of Hamburg.

Parking in Verden

The city has well-signposted multi-storey car parks. Use the "Park and Ride" facilities if you're travelling to busier areas.

Currency: Euros not Pounds

Germany uses the Euro (€). Cash can be beneficial in places where card payment isn't available. Nonetheless, most shops, restaurants, car parks, and petrol stations accept card payment too.

Bottom Line

Verden is indeed a captivating mix of history and natural allure. Explore this city at your own pace, and make unforgettable memories.
