Book with Zest Car Rental at Memmingen Airport

We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to exploring the fairy-tale castles and majestic mountain fells of Bavaria.

Unlock the real Bavaria

Memmingen Airport is the premier starting point for discovering the natural beauty and cultural riches of Southern Germany. With a rental car, you can reach the historic fells of Munich City Centre in roughly 75 minutes to visit the Marienplatz and the Hofbräuhaus. For a journey into royal fantasy, the world-famous fells of Neuschwanstein Castle are roughly 55 minutes south. If you seek medieval charm, the historic fells of Memmingen are just a 10-minute drive west, all easily accessible from the terminal.

Bavaria is a region of immense geographic variety, from the emerald fells of the Allgäu pastures to the jagged limestone fells of the Alps. A rental car gives you the ultimate freedom to explore beyond the airport and discover hidden mountain lakes, traditional Bavarian beer gardens, and the scenic roads that wind through the foothills of the mountains. Find your own rhythm in the historic and scenic heart of the south.

Can I take my Germany Rental Car into another country?

Renting a car and venturing into neighbouring countries is a fantastic way to embrace the spirit of adventure! The freedom to explore at your own pace, discover hidden gems and the local culture is an experience unlike any other. Given the airport’s location, traveling south to enjoy the iconic alpine fells of Austria and Switzerland is an incredibly popular choice for exploring the nearby Vorarlberg or the Swiss Alps. You can also head west to experience the historic fells of France and Belgium, or travel north to the Netherlands and Denmark. Other frequently selected destinations include Sweden, Luxembourg, Monaco, and Liechtenstein.

Please be aware that each provider has different regulations on which countries you can take your rental car into. This is labelled during the booking process. Simple and hassle-free!

All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.

One Way Rentals from Memmingen Airport

Pick up your car at Memmingen Airport and drop it off in Munich, Stuttgart, or even Frankfurt. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore the diverse beauty of the German landscape without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your road trip.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.

Driver Age Requirements in Germany

Can I rent a car in Memmingen if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers require drivers to be at least 21 and may apply a Young Driver Surcharge, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements and surcharges vary by car group.

Can I rent a car in Memmingen if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Germany. Most standard rentals have no additional fees, though we always recommend checking the specific terms for your chosen vehicle.

What is the best time of year to explore Bavaria by car?

The shoulder seasons of Autumn (September to November) and Spring (April to June) offer the most pleasant weather for exploring the mountain fells and historic sites. Summer is warm and ideal for alpine hiking and beer gardens, while the crisp winter is perfect for reaching the nearby ski resorts or enjoying the region's famous Christmas markets without the peak summer crowds.

Essential Tips for Driving in Germany

German Autobahns are currently toll-free for passenger cars, making travel between cities straightforward. Using dipped headlights is mandatory in poor visibility and in all tunnels. Your rental vehicle must be equipped with a warning triangle, reflective vest, and first-aid kit. Additionally, be aware of the Umweltzonen (Environmental Zones) in cities like Munich, which require a green emissions sticker; your provider will ensure your car is compliant. Finally, remember the new 2024 winter tire laws requiring the "Alpine" symbol during wintry conditions. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
