KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dresden
- When opting for a car hire in Dresden, you will get to enjoy optimum flexibility on your travels in and around the city. You can visit further destinations much more easily and conveniently than you actually would have if forms of public transport were used. When travelling between cities via public transport, the duration of the journey will be quite a bit longer, and you may even have to make connections. However, if you use a Dresden car hire, you will have a quick and direct trip. Not only will it take a shorter time, but you’ll also have a much more comfortable journey.
- When you arrive at Dresden Airport (DRS), you will find some car hire facilities near the arrival terminal of the airport. There you will find some of the hire companies, such as Sunny Cars and Thrifty Car Rental. However, the majority of the companies serving Dresden Airport are found near the Dresden Flughafen train station, adjacent to the terminal building.
- Traffic coming from the right always has the right of way in Dresden, and on the Autobahn, you should avoid the far-left lane, as drivers can reach speeds of over 160 kph. Before using car hire in Dresden, it is important that you read and understand the road signs and other traffic rules, to be a better driver within the city. It will go a long way to ensure that accidents are at their minimum and that both the pedestrians and other drivers are kept safe.
- While using your car hire in Dresden, you are always advised to keep off Autobahn 17 during peak hours, to avoid getting stuck or slowed down by traffic. During the morning hours, traffic starts to build up at around 07:00 and reduces at about 08:30, whereas the evening peak traffic hours start at roughly 16:00 and reduce at around 19:00.
- Book your rental car in Dresden at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Dresden are around 23% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
Very good price. Convieniant locationsCons:
Given a car that was fancier than booked which was hard to drive not knowing all the features (people probably do t complain about too much it's probably the reverse). The key drop off at the airport was hard to find there was no sign where you parked the cars to say the key drop was at the exit to the garage.Hertz

Cons:
The process of giving back the car was somewhat crazy ... In a very German way they try to check if. I scratch nothing missing etc but it look somewhat ridiculous to me. Nothing happened and I wasn’t accused to have done anything at all but still found the process weird and I am sure at times must be unfairEnterprise Rent-A-Car

Pros:
Drop off was convenient as there was a direct tram to town.Cons:
There was no place to park at the drop off as there were many cars. With only one person attending during a public holiday, it was challenging for him to attend to all - he was trying to find places to park the cars for customers and thus not able to attend to people concurrently.8.4 Very Good

Pros:
the Mercedes Vito is a great van that accommodated our family of 7 comfortably. it seemed like we got great gas mileage. People at both ends of pickup and dropoff were great. we had a good rental experience overall.Cons:
Even though we rented for over two weeks, the van signaled that it needed oil or an oil change on the first day. I checked the oil and it was very dirty and a little low. We purchased oil and put it in. We were told to go ahead and drive the rest of our trip and call if we had a breakdown. It was annoying having the oil warning beep at us the whole trip. at the end of the trip the Ad Blue warning came on. I would recommend making sure the vehicle's fluids are all topped off if you have someone taking it for a longer term rental.2.0 Poor
