About Renting a Car at Baden-Baden Center

Baden-Baden is an exclusive spa town at the edge of Black Forest with world-renowned thermal baths and one of Europe's finest casinos. With 5 car rental providers in the center, you have good options for exploring the region. Strasbourg in France is just 50 km west (45 min) and Freiburg 80 km south.

The city center with Caracalla Therme and Kurhaus is pedestrian-friendly, but with a rental car, Black Forest's winding forest roads open up. Schwarzwald-Hochstraße starts just outside the town and leads you through fantastic views toward Freudenstadt, 40 km away. Park in one of the city's parking garages at Augustaplatz and explore the center on foot.

Drive Schwarzwald-Hochstraße early in the morning to avoid tourist traffic. Feel free to combine with a visit to Strasbourg via motorway A5. Where are the car rental offices located in Baden-Baden center?

The offices are scattered throughout central Baden-Baden, several near the train station and along Ooser Hauptstraße. Is it difficult to park in Baden-Baden? In the center it can be tight, but there are several parking garages.
