Advice Car Rentals and Gas Stations in Frankfurt: Tips Needed

[PathwayPioneer]

I recently rented a car in Frankfurt, Germany, and had an interesting experience with the rental agent who tried to upsell us. After we declined, we got the car but I'm curious about others' experiences. How do you find the best rental deals in Germany? Also, what should I know about gas stations there? Are there any tips for navigating fuel options or payment methods that might be different from what I'm used to? Looking forward to your insights!

I can relate to the upselling at rental agencies! To score the best deals, I recommend comparing prices on aggregator sites and booking in advance to avoid surprises. As for gas stations, many are self-service, so be prepared to pay at the pump. You might also notice a mix of fuel types—like Super E10, which contains more ethanol. It’s generally cheaper but check if your rental car can handle it. Have you tried using apps to find nearby stations? They can be super helpful!
