Rent a Car in Downtown Kreuzlingen

Kreuzlingen is located on the southern shore of Lake Constance in the canton of Thurgau, directly bordering the German city of Konstanz. With 1 rental company in the center and a strategic location, it's a perfect base for exploring the Lake Constance region in both Switzerland and Germany. Zürich is 75 km to the south and St.

Gallen 40 km to the east. Kreuzlingen and Konstanz essentially form a continuous city divided by a national border — you can walk between countries without any border controls.

The ferry across Lake Constance from Konstanz to Meersburg in Germany is a popular day trip. Check whether your rental car allows driving in Germany and Austria — the Lake Constance region extends into three countries. Stein am Rhein should be visited early in the morning to avoid tourist crowds in summer.

Thurgau's apple orchards along country roads offer a uniquely Swiss experience. Can I drive the rental car from Kreuzlingen into Germany? Most rental companies allow driving in EU countries including Germany.
