Auto Europe Frankfurt Airport


Frankfurt Airport is located in Germany, only 12 km, or 8 miles from central Frankfurt.  Due to the large number of passengers who pass through the airport each year, over 53 million, Frankfurt Airport is ranked as the largest in Germany, and also one of the largest in the world. The airport consists of two terminal buildings, named as Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and both are well equipped to handle the needs of arriving and departing passengers.  With regards to transportation, many passengers find that hiring a rented car is one of the best and most convenient ways to travel, and there is a wide range of car hire companies available at Frankfurt Airport. Auto Europa is one of these companies, and they are a popular choice due to their competitive prices and good variety of quality rental vehicles.  Besides Auto Europa, Avis, Hertz, Thrifty, National, Sixt, Alamo and Easycar are other car rental companies found at Frankfurt Airport.

At most car hire companies in Europe, the primary renter is required to be at least 21 years of age and have a valid drivers license. The drivers license must have been held by the renter in his/her country of residence for at least one year prior to the rental period. An International Driving Permit may be required for individuals who reside outside of the European Union. Drivers under the age of 25 may pay a higher rental rate than usual, in the form of a young drivers fee, which is a daily charge per underage driver listed on the rental agreement, up until a maximum of ten days.  Younger drivers may also not be permitted to hire vehicles from certain vehicle categories. A major credit card in the name of the primary renter is needed to pay for the hire period. Cash and debit cards are not usually an accepted form of payment. Further details regarding these subjects can be found on Auto Europa’s website.

One of the most popular car categories available from Auto Europa is the Economy class. Vehicles in this category are very fuel efficient, and often come with excellent rental rates. Some of the vehicles in this category include the Kia Rio and VW Polo, which can have either two or four doors. The VW Polo is also light on fuel, achieving 38 miles per gallon in the city and 42 miles per gallon on the highway. Vehicles in the Economy class can accommodate up to four passengers, but don’t have much room for luggage. Compact rental cars include the Fiat Bravo, VW Golf, Ford Focus, Opel Astra and Audi A3. The VW Golf can have a manual or automatic transmission.  In this category, estate vehicles are also available, such as the Ford Focus Wagon, and this is a good choice if you need extra space for luggage.  All these vehicles mentioned can seat up to five people. 

Slightly larger vehicles which can also accommodate up to five people can be hired from the categories of Mid-size, Standard and Full-size, however, in the Mid-size and Full-size categories, even larger vehicles can be hired which seat between seven and nine passengers.
