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

Your Benefits with CarVia
Driving a rental car in Hamburg
Also in Hamburg, the beautiful city on the Elbe, you don't necessarily have to get around by boat. It's much more fun to explore the city with a convertible, cruising along the Alster in a relaxed way.
However, if you're heading on vacation and leaving Hamburg, an SUV is the better choice, as it offers plenty of space for luggage and enough seats for friends and family. The North Sea and the Baltic are each about an hour away, Sylt and Copenhagen make a great long weekend - and one-way rentals between our stations are possible, see our one-way rental page.
You can rent our cars in Hamburg for anything from a day to a month and explore many beautiful places, from Sylt to the south.
At CarVia, we guarantee your rental car, so you're not just booking a car category, but the exact car you want to drive. This applies, of course, to our sports cars as well, for example, if you rent a Porsche in Hamburg.
