Munich is a large and busy city which, although easy to navigate, experiences severe traffic congestion at peak hours and holiday periods. Some attractions are located in the historic inner city which is closed to unauthorised vehicles. Munich is well connected to Bavaria and the rest of the country by the well-maintained German autobahn network. To reach the different motorways head out of the city on the A99 Ring Road. Upper-speed limits vary in different German states and in Bavaria it is 100 kph or approximately 62 mph.

Metered street parking is widely available and reasonably priced. There is also plenty of multistorey parking in the city as well as several Park and Ride options. Munich operates a useful routeing system which clearly signposts where parking slots are available.

Start your time in Munich with a drive down the four grand royal avenues that run across the city. This gives you an overview of Munich as well as a chance to admire its gracious architecture. The first attraction on any visitor's list should be the Schloss Nymphenburg a short drive West of the city. Set in beautiful grounds and overlooking a lake, the palace houses several museums. At the Neues Rathaus or City Hall look out for the famous Rathaus-Glockenspiel which comes alive three times a day. Munich is home to nearly 50 world-class museums and galleries including the Pinakotheken collection of ancient and contemporary art.

I was late to pick up the car cause of train connection but the service at the counter was really helpful. If you are late over one hour to pick up the car the booking can't be validate with your virtual card or billing to your company. You may inform them earlier in case you will pick up the car later as appointed. But very professional at the service desk.

We rented a car here for a day trip to Neuschwanstein castle. We were visiting Munich for our 25th anniversary, and wanted to drive on the Autobahn! The rental process itself was very easy. We downloaded the app prior to leaving the states, and uploaded our information such as drivers license and passport. Given that we were in a foreign country, we did opt for the full protection package which was not cheap (it was essentially the same price as the rental itself). Due to a last-minute snafu, we did have to go to the actual counter to pick up the keys, I believe most of the time it can all be done via the app. That being said, it was still an easy process. The staff at the counter was very helpful and friendly. The car was in excellent condition and was super fun to drive. This particular location allows for 24 hour pick up and drop off which is very helpful. The location is just across the street from the central train station.

Great experience picking up, unfortunately due to a recent storm we couldn’t pick up early but they happily held our bags. Once it was time for pick up we ended up being upgraded which was wonderful. We also rented a car seat and they had two sizes to choose from which was nice. Overall wonderful experience so far and very friendly staff.
