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 the mileage policy is fixed 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

Open the “Check prices” comparison, pick an available car for your dates and book directly with the rental company. 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.
