How to find a cheap car hire deal in Ulm

  • Pick up a cheap rental car in Ulm for an average of RM459 a day and hit the road happy. We do the hard work for you by searching the best rental providers, so you can easily compare prices and book.

  • The cheapest daily price for a rental in Ulm is RM197.

  • Staying a little longer? Pick up a weekly rental from RM917 and say yes to more adventures.

  • Land the best price on a Ulm car hire by booking in advance. You're more likely to get the car that fits and a rate that works.

  • Rent your wheels from Enterprise, Keddy By Europcar or Sixt. They're some of the most trusted providers in the city.

  • The coverage Enterprise or another company offers for your Ulm car hire can vary, so remember to check the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge extra for it.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to lock in a good deal if the provider needs to move vehicles between sites. Find the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No hidden refueling charges at drop-off either.

  • Hit the highway without watching the miles and racking up extra charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and select 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you go the distance.

Compare car hire types in Ulm

  • Small: These cheap rental cars in Ulm may be small in size, but they come with big advantages. Including mini and economy vehicles, they're nimble, fuel efficient, and perfect for city runs or weekend trips.

  • Medium: A reliable pick when you want something that's easy to drive but doesn't skimp on features. This category includes compact and intermediate models that offer a little extra leg room compared to smaller cars.

  • Large: Offering a more comfortable driving experience and advanced tech features, this Ulm car hire category includes full-size cars. With roomier rear seats and plenty of storage space, they let you load up and take everyone, and everything, with ease.

  • SUV: When wanderlust strikes, an SUV goes wherever you do. It's your ultimate road trip companion, ready for backroads, highways, and anything in between. These sports utility vehicles also come with extra space and improved safety features.

  • Van: If you're searching for a car for rent in Ulm big enough for a small crowd (and all their gear), a van is the roomy ride you need. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're best suited for group travel, moving or business use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't mandatory, but is something to think about. If you're in a collision, no matter how minor, it can save you from paying a big excess fee. Different Ulm car hire providers have varying insurance policies and cover levels, so check the details before booking.

  • From GPS units to mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, the right extras can seriously upgrade your ride. Think about which features will make your trip more comfortable when you rent a car in Ulm.

Good to know

  • Age requirements vary by supplier (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Germany may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • If the kids are tagging along, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Ulm car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

  • You'll need some documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.

  • If you haven't driven before in Germany, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Germany. The only sure way to stay legal to drive is to skip the drinks.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) for all your purchases here. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cards and cash so you're covered for every situation.

  • German is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
