Make sure you have the necessary documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Driving in Germany might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the right side of the road.
