About Renting a Car at Munich Old Town

Munich's old city center is a perfect starting point for road trips through southern Bavaria, with Marienplatz and the medieval alleyways as the natural point of departure. From here, you can reach Neuschwanstein in just over an hour via the A95 motorway heading south toward Garmisch-Partenkirchen, after which you turn off toward Füssen. Austria and Salzburg are just an hour and a half away along the A8, and the charming alpine town offers Mozart, castles, and cobblestone streets.

If you'd prefer to explore the Bavarian Forest, drive east on the A94 toward Passau, one of Bavaria's most beautiful and most overlooked destinations where three rivers meet. The best time to travel is May through October, when alpine roads are open and the landscape is in full bloom.

We compare prices from all major providers at Munich Old Town 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.
