Car hire at Hamburg Airport (HAM) is a great way to complete your journey in an efficient manner. As it is only about a 25min journey, you might find it a better alternative than other modes of transport, such as buses, which you have to wait for. It is also only about a 15min drive away from motorway 7, which runs the whole length of Germany, from north to south. This means you can get to other regions with ease as well.
Not only does a car hire at Hamburg Airport provide you with great flexibility to continue your journey at your own pace, but it also gives you flexibility in other ways. For example, some agencies such as Europcar or Flizzr provide you with the option of free cancellation, providing you do so a minimum of 48h prior to collecting your vehicle. This is great for anyone who might have a change of plans at the last minute.
It is always advised to check the returns policy of each individual agency before you hire from them, as they tend to vary from company to company. For example, at Hamburg Airport, Europcar does not provide an out of office service, so make sure you do not need to return your vehicle after they are closed. However, if you need to return your vehicle at an inconvenient time, then SIXT have an around the clock returns policy. All you need to do is drop the car off in the return zone and then put the keys in the drop box near the exit.
If you want to make sure you have the best options available for your car hire at Hamburg Airport, then it is advised that you collect your car on a weekday rather than a weekend. During the weekend, you might find that some agencies, such as Thrifty, operate within reduced hours, so you will have less vehicles to choose from. If you collect your car during a weekday though, the majority of agencies will be available throughout the day and into the early evening.

How old do I need to be to hire a car at HAM Airport?
It is likely that the minimum age restrictions of each company vary depending on which one you hire a vehicle from. So, check in advance to ensure you meet the criteria. For example, at SIXT, you can hire a vehicle if you are 18, but with Enterprise you need to be at least 21 years of age. There are also surcharges for some drivers if you are under a certain age. For example, SIXT will charge anyone a fee who is under the age of 23. You will also be restricted in terms of the range of vehicles if you are under a certain age, as companies prevent younger drivers from hiring more powerful vehicles.
Which documents will I need to hire a car?
At HAM, you need to ensure that you have the correct documents prepared otherwise you will not be able to hire a vehicle. You will need to make sure you have a full driving licence that is valid for the entirety of the hire period.

Great car at a great price. At the desk though, the operator looked at me but chose to answer the phone first and left me waiting for some time. He also ask you to sign to say that the car has no damage before you're sent to collect it some distance away. Shouldn't I see the car before I agree that it's OK?
