Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Ruhr car reservation?
You should receive a total refund on your booking if you notify us more than six hours ahead of picking up the car. Read through the rental policy for the specifics. Our Customer Service Portal may have what you need too.
What types of cars can I rent in Ruhr?
Crowded city streets and tight parking spaces are no hassle for an economy car — the most commonly booked rental type in Ruhr. Take the wheel of one of these and maneuver around traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and with terrific mileage, these small rides pack a punch. But Ruhr can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Ruhr with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare rates, offers and rental companies, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Ruhr car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ruhr?
Drivers 18 and over can hit the road in Ruhr in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also be required to buy inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Ruhr?
While booking conditions may differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
Can I drive in Ruhr with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your U.S. License is all you need to drive legally in Ruhr. But if you're the sort of tourist who likes to play it safe, get yourself an International Driving Permit. Apply for this document a few weeks before you take off.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ruhr?
Yes. Expedia partners with quality companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car classes. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Ruhr — or beyond!
Where can I find a Ruhr car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Ruhr often depends on the rental provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet other companies may not have any additional fees for this age bracket. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to escape extra charges when collecting your car.
