BMW rental in Frankfurt

Pure driving pleasure, and for most visitors from the US the first German city they see: Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is the main gateway for flights from the States. Land, pick up your BMW, and the unrestricted A5 starts ten minutes from the terminal.

Which BMW to rent in Frankfurt

BMW is the biggest brand in our fleet after Porsche. In Germany it runs from the 3 Series, 4 Series and 2 Series to the X3, X5 and X7, the 7 Series and electric i7, the Z4 roadster, the electric iX3 - and the full M lineup: M2, M240i, M3, M4 (also as a convertible) and M5. The booking form above shows which of them are in Frankfurt for your dates, and you always get the exact model you book - no "or similar".

BMW builds cars that put agility and fun first, and the M models are the sharpest of them. For a business week in the banking district the 7 Series or 5-seat X5, for a road trip down the Rhine an M4 convertible, for the airport run with the family the X7.

Where to drive a BMW around Frankfurt

Autobahn: the A5 and A3 out of Frankfurt are the classic unrestricted stretches - the A3 takes you to Cologne in 90 minutes or to Nuremberg in two hours.
Rhine and Moselle: the Rheingau wine villages start 30 minutes west, the castles of the Middle Rhine Valley are a UNESCO site, and the Moselle loops are the best driving roads in the region.
Heidelberg and the Black Forest: Heidelberg is an hour south, Baden-Baden 90 minutes, and the Black Forest High Road starts right behind it.
Neighbors: Luxembourg in 2.5 hours, Strasbourg in 2.5, Amsterdam in 4.5 - Frankfurt is the best starting point in Germany for a multi-country trip.

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

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!

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!

How it works for visitors from the US

Pickup or delivery: pick up your BMW at our Frankfurt rental hub at Hamburger Allee 2, inside the Marriott Hotel at the Messe (one U-Bahn stop from the main train station), or we deliver it to your hotel or to Frankfurt Airport (FRA), the main gateway for flights from the US.
Driver's license: a US or Canadian driver's license is all you need - no international driving permit required. Bring your passport.
Minimum age: 25 years for the M cars; for some BMW 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 day on the Rhine is no problem.
