Driving Tips for Hanover

Hanover is a major hub on the autobahn, so it’s important to anticipate what to expect while driving your rental car in Hanover:

  • Ring roads:  Hanover’s city center features environmentally regulated zones. Only vehicles with a green environmental badge may enter the central city ring.
  • Speed limits: Always obey the posted speed limits. Contrary to popular belief, the autobahn often has speed restrictions, and there’s a ‘recommended’ speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph). Main roads have a maximum speed limit of 100 km/h (62 mph), and within towns, the speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph).
  • Refuel: Gas can sometimes be more expensive on weekends versus weekdays.
  • No turn on red: In Hanover and most of Germany, it is generally prohibited to turn right on red.
  • Passing: When driving on the autobahn, always keep right and use the left lane to pass. Be sure to signal when passing, and, as always, check your blind spot for cars that may have approached quickly.

Best places to visit in and around Hanover

Germany is known for its driving culture, and with your car rental in Hanover, you’ll experience this phenomenon as you take in some of the top attractions:

  • Eilenriede City Forest: This forest is located in the middle of the city, offering trails for running and walking in its tranquil setting. Parking is plentiful along the perimeter of the forest.
  • Maschsee: This man-made lake is another testament to Hanover’s ability to blend nature into urbanity. Maschsee offers water and outdoor activities for all ages, and there are many adjacent parking areas.
  • Sprengel Museum Hanover: This museum is known for its interesting collection of contemporary art, and it offers a visitor parking lot directly across from the museum.

If you’ve booked a car at this place but you’re lost and don’t speak German, I’m here to help. First off, Google doesn’t take you to the right place. It takes you to the old location next to the Europcar. There’s a video screen still on for some reason which makes you think people work there, but they don’t. You want to go inside the train station further to find the new office near the Burger King. You’d think there’d be a sign or something at the old location telling you this, but that would make too much sense. At least the employee I worked with once I figured it out was great and I had a car in no time. When it comes time to return your car, you need to go to Parkhaus am Hauptbahnhof which is on the opposite side of the station you exit and on. I didn’t ask specifically where to go beforehand and it’s not something that’s easy just to figure out. Park back on the 4th floor, drop your keys off at the office, and you’re done. Aside two very confusing steps, the rest of renting a car at this location was great.

Friendly staff members, I had left my GoPro in the car without noticing and I got an email the next day that they found it in the car during cleaning process.
