What is the most popular rental car category in Schleswig-Holstein?

A dream to maneuver and fuel-efficient — it's hardly surprising that compact cars are the most popular type of rental vehicle in Schleswig-Holstein. And if you plan to cruise the lively streets of Luebeck or Flensburg, you'll be happy you went for a smaller set of wheels too. Zip past traffic, easily parallel park, and navigate narrow lanes — bigger doesn't always mean better!

That said, Schleswig-Holstein is famous for its forests, lakes, and coastal plains. It'd be a shame not to get out of town to take in those jaw-dropping scenes. If that sounds like something you want to do, look into an SUV or a full-size car. Even if you're not planning to venture off-road, you'll be grateful for the extra legroom.

Whatever you decide, one thing's for sure — there's a rental car to suit your style in Schleswig-Holstein.
