München City Car Hire

Munich South (Süd) covers the southern neighborhoods including Sendling and Obersendling, located 5–7 km south of Marienplatz with direct access to the A95 toward Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Zugspitze. Three rental companies serve the area and offer good selection options for alpine adventures. To the south, the Bavarian Alps open up with Garmisch (90 km) and Innsbruck (160 km) within reach.

Sendling is a traditional working-class neighborhood undergoing gentrification with new restaurants and cafés along Implerstraße. Hellabrunn Zoo, one of Europe's finest zoological parks, is located 3 km to the east on the Isar river. U-Bahn lines U3 and U6 connect the south to the city center in 10–15 minutes.

Choose Munich South as your starting point for alpine trips – you'll avoid driving through the entire city. Drive the A95 early Friday afternoon to avoid intense ski traffic queues in winter. Hellabrunn Zoo is an excellent stop with children before you head south.

How long does it take to drive from Munich South to Zugspitze? Zugspitze is reached via Garmisch-Partenkirchen, 90 km south on the A95, approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. Do I need winter tires to drive in the Alps in winter?

Yes, winter tires are mandatory in Bavaria and Austria in winter weather conditions. Check that the rental car is equipped with them. Are there rental companies open on Sundays in Munich South?
