All-inclusive car rental in Hamburg

In short

An all-inclusive rental in Hamburg includes full insurance with zero excess - the gateway to northern Germany: Lübeck, the Baltic beaches and the North Sea coast.

Hamburg, Germany’s maritime city, is the springboard for the north. A car brings the Hanseatic gem of Lübeck, the Baltic seaside resorts and the wide skies of the North Sea coast within easy reach.

A Cardamar all-inclusive rental includes comprehensive zero-excess cover, unlimited mileage and free cancellation, with pick-up at Hamburg Airport.

Northern Germany by car

Lübeck, with its red-brick gates and marzipan, is about 45 minutes northeast, and the Baltic resorts of Travemünde and Timmendorfer Strand are a little further. The heath landscapes of Lüneburg lie south, and the North Sea coast stretches west.

Roads are good and flat; zero-excess cover removes the worry of city parking and busy summer coastal car parks.

Practical tips

Central Hamburg is an Umweltzone; rental cars usually carry the sticker. The city is well served by transit, so a car is best for the coast and Lübeck.

The all-inclusive price already includes full insurance, unlimited mileage and airport fees.
