About Renting a Car at Mainz Port

Mainz port, located approximately 3 km south of the city center on the Rhine riverbank, offers a rental office for those arriving by river or living in the port district. The location provides quick access to B9 heading south toward Worms, approximately 45 km away. Perfect if you want to combine a Rhine cruise with a car trip.

The port area in Mainz is undergoing exciting urban development with new residential buildings and restaurants along the waterfront. From here it's just 4 km to the Gutenberg Museum in the old town and 6 km to motorway A60 toward Frankfurt. Wiesbaden on the other side of the Rhine is reached via the Theodor-Heuss bridge in approximately 10 minutes.

The port area has limited parking, so pick up the car and drive straight toward the motorway. Book well in advance since there's only one rental company at this location. Take the opportunity to visit the fish market at the port early on Saturday mornings.
