Top tips for hiring a car at Hamburg Airport
- 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.

FAQs about hiring a car at Hamburg Airport
What type of extras can I include in my booking at the airport?
When you are getting your Hamburg Airport car hire, you can ensure that you get some great additional extras which make your trip better in every way.

Cons:
SIXT had no attendant present at the drop off, it was a general drop off with other agents present, but nobody from SIXT. on top of that I was accused of damaging the car, yet it sat their unattended, because I had to leave it in line, to make it to my flight. I never had any in person experience at the drop off.8.0 Very Good

Cons:
Customer care was not interested with us. He just instructed to put the car in the deignated area and he didnt help. Most schocking was, after drop off the car in the indicated location and area, I was exytra charged on my credit card without my consent 23 euro for not known reasons.5.6 Fair
June 2017
Cons:
pickup first my car was not available. I was offered to upgrade to higher class for extra payment which i did. when i got to the car it turned out that it was a different car from what i had upgraded to. i took the keys back they explained that the car is mislisted in their computer system. The next car was fine but when I turned the portable GPS on, which I had also rented, the screen was badly broken. Due to the fact that they were understaffed and could not accompany me to the car I had to walk back and forth from the parking lot to the rental desk a few times and wasted half an hour until all their mistakes were corrected.8.0 Very Good

Pros:
Car (Skoda) seemed to be an upgrade from VW Golf; car was roomy & fairly fuel-efficient.Cons:
I arrived at the airport at 0800; AVIS did not open until 0900. Found no "Parkschein" in the car. Automatic engine turn-off/on was annoying (that's Skoda's problem, not Avis') Drop-off was terribly slow and seemingly disorganizedOne location in Hamburg Airport
