Mercedes rental in Stuttgart

Stuttgart is where the automobile was born. Karl Benz filed the patent for the first gasoline car here, and Mercedes-Benz still builds its cars in Sindelfingen and Untertürkheim, minutes from the city. There is no better place in the world to rent a Mercedes and drive it home.

Which Mercedes to rent in Stuttgart

Our Mercedes fleet in Germany runs from the C-Class and E-Class to the S-Class, the V-Class for up to eight people, and the AMG lineup: C 43, CLE 53, GLC 43, the G 63 - the G-Wagon - and the AMG GT R. The booking form above shows which of them are in Stuttgart for your dates, and you always get the exact model you book - no "or similar".

Mercedes is not only luxury, it is performance too. If you want it sportier, pick an AMG - AMG's home in Affalterbach is 20 minutes from our hub. And a visit to the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Untertürkheim is mandatory: 130 years of the brand on nine floors, and you park your own Mercedes outside.

Where to drive a Mercedes around Stuttgart

Autobahn: the A81 towards Heilbronn and the A8 towards Munich have unrestricted stretches - Munich is two hours away, the Alps three.
Museums: Mercedes-Benz Museum in Untertürkheim and Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen - both in the city, both worth half a day. Sindelfingen, where the S-Class is built, is 20 minutes west.
Black Forest: the Black Forest High Road from Baden-Baden to Freudenstadt is about an hour away - Germany's best-known scenic road, made for a G-Wagon or a CLE 53 with the roof down.
Swabian Alb and Lake Constance: the hill roads of the Schwäbische Alb start 40 minutes south, Lake Constance and the Swiss border are two hours away.

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!

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!

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!
