About Renting a Car at Munich Riem

Munich Riem is located in eastern Munich, approximately 10 km from the city center, on the site of the former airport which has been transformed into Messestadt Riem with Munich's large exhibition center. With 1 rental company on site, the selection is focused but the location is excellent if you're heading to trade shows or onward toward Salzburg (150 km). The A94 motorway is only 5 minutes' drive away.

Riemer Park, a 200-hectare green space, dominates the southern part of the neighborhood and offers cycling paths and lake swimming in summer. Messe München, one of Europe's largest exhibition centers, generates high demand for rental cars during major events such as BAU and ISPO. U-Bahn line U2 connects Riem to Marienplatz in 18 minutes.

During major trade shows such as BAU, Drinktec and ISPO, rental prices rise significantly – book at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Riemer Park is perfect for a morning walk before you pick up the car. Refueling is best done at the Aral station on Kronstadter Straße, 500 meters from the exhibition center.
