About Renting a Car at Ludwigsburg Center

With as many as 7 rental companies in Ludwigsburg city center, you have maximum selection for car rentals in this Baroque palace town north of Stuttgart.

Stuttgart is 15 km to the south via B27 and Heilbronn is 35 km to the north.

Ludwigsburg is famous for its magnificent palace grounds with the Blühendes Barock gardens, which attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, especially during the pumpkin festival in September - October. Forum am Schlosspark and MHPArena make the town a cultural hub in Baden-Württemberg. Book your car early during the Blühendes Barock season (April - November) as demand is high and prices rise.
