All-inclusive car rental in Hamburg
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.
