Audi rental in Munich

Audi is the Bavarian one of the German big three: four rings, quattro all-wheel drive, and a factory in Ingolstadt 45 minutes up the A9 from Munich. From the compact A1 to the R8 supercar, Audi builds a car for every purpose, and the S and RS models from Audi Sport are the fast end of it. Rent yours in Munich and drive it home, so to speak.

Which Audi to rent in Munich

Our Audi fleet in Germany runs from the everyday to the absurd: the A1, TT, Q5, SQ7 and the A5 Avant plug-in hybrid on one end, the RS 6 Avant (also as the 740 hp ABT RS6-S), the RS Q8 and the R8 with its naturally aspirated V10 on the other. Every one of them is quattro all-wheel drive, which matters in Germany about eight months a year. The booking form above shows which of them are in Munich for your dates, and you always get exactly the model you book - no "or similar".

The R8 is the one for the autobahn and the Alpine passes - a mid-engine V10 that will be gone from the market soon, so drive it while you can. The RS 6 Avant is the family-and-luggage version of the same idea, and the SQ7 or Q5 are the sensible choice for a week of skiing in Garmisch.

Where to drive an Audi around Munich

Autobahn: the A9 towards Nuremberg and the A8 towards Salzburg have long unrestricted stretches - the R8 was built for exactly this.
Alps: the German Alpine Road, Kesselberg, Sudelfeld, Garmisch and Neuschwanstein Castle are about an hour south - the best driving roads in Bavaria.
Austria and Italy: Innsbruck in two hours, Lake Garda in four over the Brenner Pass. Cross-border trips are covered, see the FAQ below.
City: Maximilianstrasse, the Englischer Garten and dinner in Schwabing - the evening drive is half the point.

Great company. Rented a GT4 in Stuttgart, they took the time to walk around the car to document any damages, asked for me to take pictures and videos. Great process, Car was clean and in excellent shape. Super service, could not be happier. I will have to do a trip every year from now on.

I hired an M3 Touring through this outfit and it was a great experience. The guy who handed over the car was really accommodating and helpful. The car was phenomenal and everything in the process was super simple and straight forward. Definitely recommend!

Such an awesome experience! Rented a BMW M3 and the ride was such an amazing experience. Pick up was in Munich and drop off was in Salzburg and each time was ABSOLUTELY seamless. Will definitely rent again when I'm in Germany!

The best prices for cars in Germany. Good communication with customers, the deposit was returned the next day. I recommend👍

Fantastic service that I wish we had in Australia. Will definitely use again when in Germany. Great selection of cars at reasonable prices with great professional service. Had a Cayman GTS this time around for a few days and look forward to trying some of the other fleet vehicles next time!

Minimum age: 25 years for the R8 and the RS models; for some Audi models it is lower - the booking process tells you.
Deposit: blocked on a credit card in the renter's name, never charged. Debit cards are not accepted. The amount is shown during booking.
Cancellation: free of charge up to one week before pickup.
Return: most of our hubs have 24/7 key safes, so a late return after a long day in the Alps is no problem.
