Cheap car rental in Berlin

Cheap car rental in Berlin starts with the small, efficient cars above — economy and compact classes that are cheap to hire and cheap to run. They are the smart pick for a city as spread out as Berlin, easy to park around Prenzlauer Berg or Kreuzberg, and they still cruise the Autobahn to Dresden or the Baltic on a tank that barely moves. We compare local partners for the lowest honest rate, deliver free to Berlin Brandenburg (BER), and show the all-in price before you pay.

What makes these the cheapest

Two things: a low daily rate and low running costs. A compact economy car books from around $36 a day, and because it sips fuel, a week of driving Berlin and the surrounding Brandenburg stays affordable — and Germany has no car tolls, so fuel is the main cost. Small also means easy: simpler to park, lighter on fuel, quicker through traffic.

Cheap but not stripped-back

A low price here does not mean surprises. Every car carries the green Umweltplakette for the inner-city environmental zone, basic insurance is included, and we confirm the mileage policy up front. You see the all-in figure before booking; fuel and any fines are the only extras. Some of the cheap cars are also available with no deposit if you would rather skip a hold on your card.

How to book the cheapest car

Send your dates and we lock in an available economy car at the best rate, then deliver to BER or your hotel. Staying a while? The daily price drops further on a monthly car rental in Berlin. You need an EU, UK or international licence and a credit card in the driver’s name; minimum age is usually 21.
