Visitors to Hamburg looking to rent a vehicle are recommended to opt for medium to small vehicles such as SUVs, compacts, and sedans. Such vehicles are well-suited for Hamburg’s roads, which, while not small, are not necessarily as wide as the roads commonly seen in cities in the United States. Additionally, drivers will find that drivers of smaller vehicles will also have an easier time finding on-street parking spots large enough for them.
Within the city, the typical speed limit for residential areas is 50 km/h (31 mph), but in densely populated areas with high amounts of pedestrian traffic, the speed limit occasionally goes down to 30 km/h (18 mph). On major urban roads the speed limit ranges from 60 to 70 km/h (37 to 43 mph). On the Autobahn there is often no speed limit, but occasionally there are specific speed limits such as 130 km/h (81 mph).
Parking in Hamburg, like in many large cities in the world, can be a bit of a trial at times in the busier areas. Fortunately for drivers, though, Hamburg has numerous parking garages and parking lots available throughout its downtown core. It is also quite cheap to park at these lots, with rates starting as low as €1.00 ($1.14) per hour.
On average a car hire in Hamburg costs £30 per day.

The average price of fuel in Hamburg is £5.85 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of fuel costs between £70 and £94, depending on the car size.

Typically, you must be at least 18 years old to arrange a hire car in Hamburg, while certain agencies may need you to be at least 21 years old. It is best to check with your chosen car hire company to see whether there will be an additional premium for drivers under the age of 25, since certain car hire companies may charge extra. This may be especially important if you’re searching for cheap car hire in Hamburg.

I booked the car few weeks in advance (VW Caddy/commercial type) which I needed for moving to new apartment and transport some furniture and stuff. Unfortunately the car was not available and I got another (Ford Sharan).2.0 Poor
Aug 2017
Pros:
Horrible, dishonest, illegal practice and serviceCons:
Enterprise refused to honor my reservation. They admitted to making a mistake and giving away my car. Then they offered me a different car for $20 more. Since we had travel from California and we needed to get to a wedding, we had no choice but to pay more even though online we found cheaper reservations with Enterprise.10.0 Wonderful
Jan 2017
Pros:
First and foremost, the staff at this location are excellent. Easy to converse with, personable, it's a warm feeling that greets you as you walk through the doors. The vehicles I have rented thus far are superb, always delivered clean and it's only a few minutes confirming details before I am on the road. Prices are exceptionally fair for the level of service and the vehicle type you will receive. I highly recommend anyone in Hamburg to visit this location when looking for an auto rental.Cons:
Nothing, this place is superb.2.0 Poor

Customer care was not interested with us. He just instructed to put the car in the deignated area and he didnt help. Most schocking was, after drop off the car in the indicated location and area, I was exytra charged on my credit card without my consent 23 euro for not known reasons.5.6 Fair
Jun 2017
Cons:
pickup first my car was not available. I was offered to upgrade to higher class for extra payment which i did. when i got to the car it turned out that it was a different car from what i had upgraded to. i took the keys back they explained that the car is mislisted in their computer system. The next car was fine but when I turned the portable GPS on, which I had also rented, the screen was badly broken. Due to the fact that they were understaffed and could not accompany me to the car I had to walk back and forth from the parking lot to the rental desk a few times and wasted half an hour until all their mistakes were corrected.8.0 Very Good

Some Hamburg car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Hamburg.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Hamburg car hire.
