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!

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!

How to book a Mercedes GLS

While the compact GLB and the midsize GLC keep things relatively modest, nothing was spared on the GLS. More power, more comfort and the latest technology add up to the picture of the perfect SUV. To check when our GLS is available, enter your nearest rental station and your preferred dates in the booking bar above. You can then customize your experience with additional drivers, trips abroad and extra miles.

You'll receive the car on time at the chosen rental hub, or we deliver it to your hotel or the airport. The handover is completely digital and convenient via iPad - we skip the paperwork. Before we send you off, we're happy to give you a short introduction to the car so common questions are cleared up right away and you can enjoy your rental in peace.

Before you park the car, with a full tank, in one of our parking spaces at the end of your time together, please make sure to take all personal belongings with you.

Depending on the location, you're not necessarily tied to our rental hubs' opening hours. Instead, permanent key safes are installed at many locations, and you can drop off the car at any time.

Drive the Mercedes GLS yourself

Choosing a GLS for your trip goes far beyond pragmatism. In the largest SUV Mercedes currently offers apart from the G-Class, up to seven people find comfortable seats across three rows. So everything in the GLS is a little oversized - especially under the hood of the GLS 580. There, Mercedes-Benz has fitted a powerful 4.0-liter V8 with an impressive 510 hp and 538 lb-ft of torque. That allows the GLS, even with a curb weight of over 5,700 lb, to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds and maintain a governed top speed of 155 mph.

That also makes the GLS the ideal car for long trips - after all, it comes with active traffic-jam assist, active steering and lane-keeping assist and a blind-spot assistant. Not to mention the legroom, which is of course a particular advantage for passengers in the rear. And, as is typical for Mercedes, the interior stands out for the craftsmanship with which high-quality materials such as linden wood and nappa leather have been finished.

Rental Requirements: GLS

Are you wondering what requirements you need to meet to rent a Mercedes GLS?

Of course, you'll need a valid driver's license and an identification document (ID card/passport). We accept driver's licenses from all over the world. However, if your license does not use the Latin alphabet or lacks an English translation, you will also need to provide an international driver's license in addition to your original document. The driver's license must have been in your possession for at least year. Additionally, the renter (and any additional drivers) must meet the minimum age requirement of 19 years (higher for certain models).
