Car hire Mannheim Airport

Mannheim Airport, more often known as Mannheim City Airport, serves the German city of Mannheim and is located in the suburb of Neuostheim, just 3.5kms from the centre. Due to its location, it can't accommodate the landings of large commercial airlines. At present, it offers a route to Berlin-Tegel with Cirrus Airlines, although car hire in Mannheim Airport is available.

Mannheim Airport facilities

General aviation, a flying school and medivac services are provided here as well as basic passenger facilities in the terminal, including a restaurant, assistance for the disabled and car parking. The former, larger terminal is now in use as a commercial restaurant and beer garden, with a fitness club also on site.

Mannheim Airport excursions

The city centre of Mannheim and its historic buildings were flattened during WWII and modern developments here are of little interest to visitors. However, its lively multicultural aspect makes for a colourful and enjoyable experience, especially in its many local restaurants, bars and beer halls. The highlight of a visit to the area, however, is a daytrip to the old university city of Heidelberg, just a 10-minute drive away.

Best time to visit

The climate in the region is classified as oceanic, with the forests and mountains protecting the plains from extreme weather, but causing thunderstorms in summer. During the cold winter months, snowfall regularly continues for several days and stays on the streets due to the freezing temperatures. July and August are the warmest months, with spring and autumn still pleasant.

Car rental in Mannheim Airport

Driving in the region is as satisfying as in the rest of Germany, mostly due to the excellent condition of all roads, from the ultra-fast autobahns through major roads to village streets. German drivers, although speedy, are careful, and experienced motorists have little to worry about here. For the best rates on your preferred vehicle, compare car hire and book online well in advance.
