All-inclusive car rental in Munich
An all-inclusive rental in Munich includes full insurance with zero excess - the ideal base for the Bavarian Alps, Neuschwanstein Castle, the lakes and even Salzburg.
Munich is the gateway to Bavaria’s greatest sights. A car opens up the fairytale castle of Neuschwanstein, the alpine lakes of the Tegernsee and Chiemsee, the Zugspitze and the Romantic Road - destinations that are slow to reach by train.
A Cardamar all-inclusive rental includes comprehensive zero-excess cover, unlimited mileage and free cancellation, with pick-up at Munich Airport.

Bavaria and the Alps by car
Neuschwanstein is about 1.5 hours southwest, the Tegernsee and Chiemsee lakes under an hour, and Salzburg just across the Austrian border around 1.5 hours away (confirm cross-border cover). The alpine roads are superb but can be busy at weekends.
Winter tyres are legally required in wintry conditions - essential if you head into the mountains in the colder months.
Driving in and around Munich
Munich’s centre is an Umweltzone (low-emission zone) requiring an environmental sticker; rental cars normally carry one. The city is well served by U-Bahn, so park and ride for the centre and use the car for day trips.
On de-restricted Autobahn sections, keep right except to overtake and watch closing speeds. The all-inclusive price includes full insurance, unlimited mileage and airport fees.
