Enterprise, Keddy By Europcar and Sixt are some of the most reliable providers in the city. They're a great starting point for comparing offers.
The coverage Enterprise or another supplier includes with your Magdeburg car hire can vary, so remember to go over the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will provide it for an extra charge.
Booking a one-way car hire can be your secret weapon for finding a deal. Select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often need to move vehicles from one branch to another, which means you can snag some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Magdeburg.

Good to know
Age requirements vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Germany may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
Add a car seat to your Magdeburg car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Rules vary from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest approach.
You'll need some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
If you're new to driving in Germany, keep in mind that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Germany is 0.05%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.
Aim to travel outside heavy 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 day-to-day spending throughout your trip. You may find it useful to carry a mix of cards and cash so you always have a backup option.
