About Renting a Car at Nuremberg Center

With six rental companies in Nuremberg town center, you have one of the best selections in the entire Franconia region. Nuremberg is Bavaria's second-largest city and an excellent base for trips along the Romantic Road and to Frankenwald. Welcome to exploring 1,000 years of history from behind the wheel.

The old town is surrounded by 5 km of well-preserved medieval walls and contains attractions such as the German National Museum and Albrecht Dürer House. Highways A3, A6, and A9 meet just outside the city center, making Nuremberg a logistics hub in southern Germany. Erlangen is 20 km to the north and Regensburg 100 km to the east.

Six rental companies in the center – always compare car rental prices on hyrbilar.se before deciding.
