About Renting a Car at Berlin Rudow

Berlin-Rudow in south-eastern Berlin offers car rental via 1 rental company in one of the city's more peripheral and quiet residential districts. Rudow is approximately 15 km south of Berlin city centre and borders directly on Brandenburg, making it a strategic location for excursions to the south. BER Berlin Brandenburg Airport is just 8 km away, approximately 10–15 minutes via Rudower Chaussee.

Rudow is a typical Berlin suburb with detached houses, green areas and the popular Britzer Garten just 4 km north-west of the district's centre. U-bahn line U7 connects Rudow directly with Neukölln and further into Berlin's city centre in approximately 30 minutes. Perfect starting point if you're flying into BER and want to pick up the car near the airport without paying the airport's high fees.

Britzer Garten is worth visiting during tulip season in April–May. Drive south towards Königs Wusterhausen and Spreewald around 60 km, a popular excursion destination. Is it cheaper to rent a car in Rudow compared to BER airport?

Often yes – airport rental companies charge a surcharge. Rudow is just 8 km from BER and can offer better prices. How do I get to Rudow without a car?

U7 goes directly to Rudow from central Berlin, with the final stop at Rudow. The journey from Alexanderplatz takes approximately 35 minutes. Is there only one rental company in Rudow – is that a problem?

It limits your options, but book in good time and you can still find good prices. Alternatively, compare with rental companies in Neukölln, 5 km to the north.

We compare prices from all major providers at Berlin Rudow so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
