About Renting a Car at Lubeck Airport

Lübeck Airport (LBC) offers car rental with 1 company directly at the terminal, located 8 km south of Lübeck center. The airport primarily handles charter flights and is a quiet alternative to Hamburg Airport's congestion. With a rental car, Hamburg center is 75 km south via A1 and Lübeck center can be reached in 15 minutes.

Lübeck Airport is situated in a rural area south of the city near Blankensee, surrounded by Schleswig-Holstein's typical rolling landscape. The airport is small and manageable with a short walking distance between arrivals and the rental desk, minimizing wait time. With just one rental company at the airport, early booking is absolutely necessary to guarantee availability.

Alternatively, you can take a taxi the 8 km to Lübeck center and pick up a car there among more rental companies. If you're planning a ferry to Scandinavia, drive directly on E47 toward Travemünde, just 15 km east.

We compare prices from all major providers at Lubeck Airport 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.
