Cheap Car Hire in Berlin
Car hire in Berlin itself is possible, but is mostly unnecessary, as the city has an efficient public transport system. A better use for your Berlin car hire is to take day trips to sights outside of the city, and these include Sachsenhausen, once the site of a Nazi concentration camp and now a quiet suburb of the city. Another perfect day trip if you have car hire is a visit to Potsdam, the capital of the surrounding state of Brandeburg, which also might encompass the Sanssouci Park, a World Heritage Site with some great palaces to explore. To the North of Berlin is the Müritz lake region, a national park with around one hundred lakes, and the Baltic seaside is also within easy reach. You might also consider using your car rental to visit Dresden, with its historic landmarks; Leipzig and its famous mediaeval streets; or Frankfurt an der Oder, on the Polish border. Some mediaeval relics can also be seen in Bernau, including a gothic church and a city wall.
The best method of finding cheap car hire in Berlin is to compare prices before booking in advance, with an airport pickup included, so as to give you an easy transfer to your hotel.
