Renting a car in Germany
I'd like to rent a car for at least a day during my stay in Germany. I'll probably do so while I'm in Dresden in order to see some areas I can't get to easily otherwise.
Is any car rental place going to give a car to a 23 year old girl who can't drive a manual? I haven't driven a clutch in years and I don't want to relearn while I'm there.

Yes, it is possible. I was in Mannheim for 6 weeks and just used the tram until the weekends. When we would travel farther and outside of the surrounding area we would rent a car for one or two days and just split the cost with whoever I travelled with. Ended up being perfect plus they included a GPS so we never got lost!

Yes, no problem. Nobody will ask you about the manual thing. And you can request an automatic from them as well. Most car rentals have at least some automatics in Germany.
You might have to pay a higher premium for the insurance if you are under 25 though. But they will give it to you, dont worry.

Instead of breaking their cars, you can find several local German car hire firms that provide cars specifically for driving on the 'ring. Some companies will give you a high penalty for doing so, a company, especially your life will be banned. To assist them in maintaining their cars, and sometimes the use of GPS tracking and hiring local people on the spot parking lot at the Nurburgring.

Car rental in Germany is not really that hard to book, well, just to be safe, a good piece of advice is to book car rentals, so even if you have not set foot in the country.

Due to the fact that Germany is an industrial country, you will find it difficult to get fluent in English to communicate with them, so we strongly recommend that you try to find a good, reputable and affordable car rental in Germany before You start your journey.It is also desirable, you should try to use a map to determine where you plan to visit during the trip, and this can make some type of comparison, which will help you know, it is best to use your car rental in Your travel in Germany or it will be cheaper, if you use public transport vehicles.

It is so wonderful there is a tour around Germany, where you will find a good balance of mixed modern and lush country sides, but it is only when you have a wonderful tour in your car, so if you want to be safe and get all the Fun and comfortable, you want, try to get a car at the beginning of your travel in Germany, in fact, it is very easy to get car rental in Germany now.

It is good to know about everything and be prepare for that, but i think sometimes if you go without a planning either your journey will excellent or worse, but you will enjoy. just go and face every difficulties which is come in-front of you. You will learn lots of after this vacation trip.
